The mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market in the solar photovoltaic energy sector continues on an upward trajectory. In the first three months of 2025, 15 transactions were recorded, an increase of 25% compared to the same period in 2024. The data is part of the new M&A Bulletin from the consultancy Greener, which monitors public transactions in the sector.
Centralized generation (GC) was the main driver of this increase, ing for seven of the eight deals involving power plants – more than double the GC operations recorded in the first quarter of the previous year. In total, the transactions involved 42 plants, including GC and distributed generation (DG), totaling 1,1 GWp in power.
In addition to the increase in volume, the survey highlights a change in the profile of operations: motivations have become increasingly strategic. Of the total transactions between companies, 43% were acquisitions of companies specializing in energy services, including automation, monitoring, infrastructure, smart grid and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
Another relevant piece of information is the composition of investors: 58% operate in the energy generation and/or commercialization segments, which reinforces the trend towards integration and diversification of portfolios.
According to Nathan da Rosa, a business consultant at Greener, companies have sought to position themselves more strategically, whether through asset restructuring or acquisitions that add value to their operations. Although 2024 ed for 44% of all transactions recorded since the survey began in 2022, 2025 has already begun with significant movement in the sector.
