YARDS accompagne Weinberg Capital Partners

Back

Yards law firm has supported Weinberg Capital Partners via its WCP Impact Dev #1 fund in its acquisition of a minority stake in Orion Energies, a major French player in the photovoltaic energy sector.

Founded in 2005, Weinberg Capital Partners is an independent investment firm historically active in buyout capital. In 2020, the WCP Impact Dev #1 fund was awarded the Relance label, which recognises funds that are committed to mobilising new resources to support the equity of French companies (SMEs), whether listed or not.

Orion Energies is a major French player in the photovoltaic energy sector, specialising in the development, installation and operation of largescale photovoltaic solar power plants in France and abroad.

Through this transaction, Weinberg Capital Partners wishes to support Orion Energies in its development and in the definition of its impact strategy in order to address climate and social issues.

This fundraising will allow Orion Energies to intensify its development based on four fundamental commitments: proximity to territories, integrity at the heart of actions, collective energy and daily agility.
