Akuo Energy USA

Akuo Energy is a French-based, independent power producer (IPP) specializing in the development, financing, construction, and operation of renewable energy power plants globally. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Paris, the company is an integrated player across the entire value chain of renewable energy, from project development to energy sales. Its technological expertise spans solar, wind, storage, hydro, biomass, and ocean thermal energy conversion. As of a recent update, Akuo has a portfolio of 2.2 GW of total capacity, with 320 MW operational, and is committed to an aggressive growth strategy, aiming to reach 5 GW by 2030, following its acquisition by Ardian in March 2025.

Akuo distinguishes itself by employing a unique model that integrates renewable energy production with a strong focus on local communities and sustainable development. This singular approach is exemplified by their pioneering work in Agrivoltaics, a model that successfully combines solar energy generation with agricultural activities to support farmers and secure food production. With a global presence in over 15 countries across Europe, the Americas, and beyond, Akuo emphasizes that energy production is not an end in itself, but a means to provide additional, sustainable benefits to the territories where they operate, aligning with their commitment to ensuring both energy and food self-sufficiency.
