RP Global

What RP Global does

RP Global is a privately held independent power producer (IPP) that develops, finances, builds and operates utility-scale renewable energy projects across Europe. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Vienna, Austria with a second headquarters in Madrid, Spain, the company employs 251–500 people and reports more than 40 years of operating history in the renewables sector. Its project portfolio spans ground-mounted solar PV, onshore wind, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), with a development pipeline exceeding 14 GW(p) and local teams active in seven European markets: Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain.

The company's core offerings are threefold: Solar PV Development, Wind Energy Development, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). RP Global acts as project investor, long-term shareholder and asset owner responsible for final development and financing, while relying on strategic EPC partners such as MaxSolar for construction and Nordex for wind turbine supply. This asset-heavy, partner-delivered model allows the company to manage a multi-gigawatt pipeline without proportionally scaling internal headcount.

RP Global generates revenue primarily through the sale of electricity from owned and operated renewable assets, either via long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with utilities and corporate energy buyers or via merchant power sales to wholesale markets. The company is currently following a merchant financing strategy on at least the Wałcz wind project in Poland while pursuing a PPA for long-term refinancing in a second phase. Customer segments are horizontal in nature, split between utilities and grid operators (primary) and corporate energy buyers seeking to meet sustainability targets (secondary), with both segments accessed via direct enterprise field sales and industry events.
