The company has set an ambitious target of generating $1billion in the next three years. It stated that there are 2 GWp of operating assets and projects under development at the moment.
"We live through the Golden Age of renewables. Despite the fading subsidies for clean energy, despite the current economic turmoil - the inflation rates, the volatile currencies, the supply chain and logistics bottlenecks, 2023 will be another record year for capital deployment in green power" Athein's Co-Founder and CEO Milan Koev, was quoted in a statement.
