The portfolio of Susi’s second renewable energy fund currently comprises 13 wind and solar farms in Germany, the UK, France,  Portugal and Italy,  delivering a total output of around 170MW of clean energy.

European commissioner for climate action and energy Miguel Arias Canete says the EU is creating initiatives and incentives to help facilitate the transition to low-carbon energy sources.
