Portuguese renewable energy company Greenvolt – Energias Renovaveis SA and funds managed by Equitix Groups have reached an agreement to jointly acquire a 43.6-MW biomass power plant in England.

According to a filing published on Monday by Portuguese pulp producer Altri SGPS SA (ELI:ALTR), Greenvolt's parent company, the transaction has an enterprise value of GBP 246.5 million (USD 349.6m/EUR 286.7m).

Specifically, Greenvolt and Equitix are taking full control of Tilbury Green Power Holdings Ltd (TPGH), the owner of the biomass plant located in the port of Tilbury, Essex.
