About

A sustainable future for all

Wattcrop was incorporated in 2019 aiming to develop best-in-class renewable energy and energy storage projects mainly in South-East Europe and the UK.

Currently Wattcrop has partnered with CERO GENERATION, a Macquarie Green Investment Group portfolio company and one of the largest renewable energy developers internationally, aiming to develop organically a significant asset portfolio exceeding 750MW of generation and 600MW of storage assets.

To achieve that we are capitalising on local talent by establishing local teams on the jurisdictions we operate. In addition to greenfield development, we aim to expand our portfolios through licencing acquisition and strategic partnerships.

Our goal is to drive Carbon Zero energy generation, support local communities, protect, and enhance ecosystem biodiversity, envisioning a better more sustainable future for all.
