Michael Ebner, Managing Director of KGAL Investment Management was quoted in a statement, "Our funds KGAL ESPF 4 and 5 are very successful with their strategy of investing in early- to mid-stage renewable energy projects. A prerequisite for this success is partnering with experienced EPC contractors such as GRS.”
