Together we are focusing on developing our pipeline of onshore projects, currently consisting of 1 GW wind and 1 GW solar (PV) with planned construction in 2024-26.

As our new Project Manager your focus will be on developing and handling our wind- and solar (PV) projects in Greece to bring the current projects to ready-to-build status as well as building up the pipeline of new projects in Greece.
