Initially, EnergyPro Asset Management will have a combined long term contract roster of 180MW wind turbines.
It will handle assets for various owners of windfarms ranging from independent local developers to global institutional investors like Greystone Infrastructure Fund and Impax Asset Management.
EnergyPro Asset Management will initially employ 18 people and the number expected to grow in the future, The Irish Times reported.
The joint venture company will have offices in the Kildare, Cavan counties and also in Cork.
