Voltares is a group of companies dedicated to clean energy and is part of the 1 million tons initiative led by Cornelius Patt. Their mission is to contribute to a more sustainable future by developing renewable energy projects and making strategic Cleantech investments that eliminate CO2 emissions. With a focus on emerging markets in Africa and Asia, Voltares responds to the climate crisis by developing and implementing solar, wind, and hydropower projects.

From rural electrification projects in Africa to utility-scale renewable energy projects in the Caucasus region, their success is measured by achieving measurable SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) targets and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) ratings. Voltares works in partnership with experienced local partners in their target countries, developing and implementing projects from scratch. Their approach involves entrepreneurial drive, risk-taking, and innovation in project execution.

This enables them to identify untapped regional and technological opportunities and create true additional value. The Voltares group consists of Voltares Development, which develops solar, wind, and hydro projects up to 50 MW; Voltares Energies, which implements and operates renewable energy projects with a reduction goal of 1 million tons of CO2 emissions; and Voltares Ventures, which invests up to 5 million Euro in thriving companies of the Climate Tech sector. Voltares invites like-minded co-investors and lenders to join their efforts and aims to mobilize additional capital to increase the impact of their work.

They believe that financial performance and climate impact should go hand in hand. For developers seeking funding and co-development for their renewable energy projects, Voltares serves as a reliable partner. They have the capability to fund the full development of projects and establish joint ventures with partners who bring regional know-how and experience.

Some of their current investments include Off-Grid Europe, which specializes in renewable energy technology for power generation and battery storage, and various ongoing development projects such as a C&I Solar plant in Georgia, affordable power projects for rural communities in Senegal, and a scalable solar park in India.
