A new renewables group led by former Mainstream Renewable Power chief Andy Kinsella aims to develop projects across Europe, its founders said.

Kinsella will be CEO of Dublin-based Aer Soléir, which he set up with US-based 547 Energy, itself backed by Quantum Energy Partners.

Aer Soléir launches with “a mission of developing, constructing, owning, and operating a multi-gigawatt portfolio of onshore wind, solar and energy storage projects throughout Europe,” said a statement.
