About us

The portfolio shall comprise 25 power plant projects with an installed capacity of about 300 MW. In making an investment decision, enso attaches greatest importance to long-term thinking and entrepreneurial partnership.
The enso team has many years of experience in the energy industry. In addition to its own expertise, enso has access to a company network providing extensive knowledge in conception, construction and operation of hydroelectric power plants.
Already at the beginning of a project, enso cooperates with local holders of licences who are planning to realise a hydroelectric power plant and are searching for a competent partner with professional experience in this field. In the projects, enso will provide skills ranging from the layout of a power plant, the project development, the turbine manufacturing, the automation know-how and the construction up to the efficient and profitable operation in the long-term. Likewise, enso is in a position to organize the overall financing.
The capital ownership of project companies may vary: Principally, enso strives for majority interests. However, for larger projects, minority interests may also be considered. By the end of the investment period, up to 70% of the invested capital shall account for the regions South East Europe and Turkey. The remaining approximate 30% shall be invested in Scandinavia and the Alpine region. Each single country’s share shall not exceed 25%, except for Turkey where up to 35% may be invested.
