White & Case Advises Mirova on Solveo Energies Stake.
White & Case LLP has guided sustainable investment firm Mirova through a key strategic move: joining forces with Solveo Energies to support the company’s next phase of growth in renewable energy.
Mirova, which focuses on environmental and socially responsible investing and is affiliated with Natixis Investment Managers, took the lead in Solveo Energies’ latest fundraising round. Through its Energy Transition 6 fund, Mirova invested equity alongside existing shareholders and acquired a stake in the business.
The investment marks a major milestone for Solveo Energies, an independent French renewable energy producer known for its local, community-rooted approach. With fresh backing from Mirova, the company plans to speed up development and roll out more clean energy projects across France and beyond.
“We are very proud to welcome Mirova to our entrepreneurial adventure. This transaction reinforces our model as an independent, regionally-rooted player.”
“Thanks to this long-term strategic partnership, we now have the resources to accelerate our development, consolidate our portfolio and remain true to our convictions: to produce sustainable, local energy that respects the regions.” said Jean-Marc Mateos, Chairman of Solveo Energies.
Jocelyn Dioux, Investment Director at Mirova, shared: “We are delighted to be joining Solveo Energies. We were particularly impressed by the talent of the teams, the relevance of the asset portfolio, the rigour of the processes and the company’s clear strategic vision.”
“This transaction fits perfectly with our MET6 portfolio strategy, which selects committed and successful players in the energy transition.”
The legal side of the deal was handled by White & Case’s Paris office, with partners Guillaume Vallat and Edouard Le Breton taking the lead. They were joined by fellow partners Jean-Luc Champy, Valérie Ménard, Estelle Philippi, and Jérémie Marthan, counsel Henri Bousseau, and associates Marovola Rasoanaivo, Camille Fouqué, Pauline Abbouche, Sarah Kouchad, Thibault Faivre-Pierret, Rahel Wendebourg, Camille Coulon, and Clément Bellaclas.
