Valfortec

What Valfortec does

Valfortec S.L. (legal name VALFORTEC PROMOCIÓN DE ENERGÍAS LIMPIAS) is a privately held Spanish photovoltaic solar developer founded in 2005 and headquartered in Castellón de la Plana, Spain. The company operates as an integral developer of photovoltaic projects, providing end-to-end services across financing and business model structuring, development and engineering, construction and commissioning, plant management, and operation and maintenance, serving institutional investors, asset owners, and independent power producers across 7 countries (Spain, Japan, Chile, UK, Italy, Ireland, USA). Its portfolio includes 78.9 MW of total installed power globally, of which 36.1 MW operates under regulated pricing frameworks in Spain, Chile, Japan, and the UK, alongside a 786.8 MW development pipeline in advanced stages.

The business is built around three revenue mechanics: (1) professional services revenue from project development fees, EPC construction, and long-term O&M contracts on third-party and own assets; (2) green and project bond issuances used to finance project development — notably a EUR 51.8M Project Bond on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (2020) and a EUR 25M Green Bond in Spain's AFIM market at 4.5% coupon (2021), structured with Mirabaud and Bankinter; and (3) regulated IPP cash flows on its own operational fleet under per-country FiT/regulated regimes. Valfortec's product portfolio is being extended beyond PV into battery storage (with Jinko Solar and Endurance Motive), agrovoltaics (led by an industry association VP), and green hydrogen via the STACKAEM AEM electrolyzer consortium.
