End-to-end expertise

We’re primed and prepared to execute projects at any stage

Development

Sourcing and structuring

Hyphen hand-holds a project until it is ready to build. From sourcing ripe locations, to developing plans, to obtaining licences and permits. Hyphen executes to a world-class standard. Our focus is in Europe but we have the experience and capability to intervene in non-European transitions too.

Construction

Building our future

This arm of our business allows us to go beyond the traditional ‘develop and flip’ model, and become a steady, power generation company. It solidifies Hyphen as a strong, dependable, versatile, vertically integrated entity. Keeping the build process under our roof also improves efficiency and streamlines costs.

Operations

Managing the assets

Throughout the operational lifetime of renewable energy assets, effective management is required to ensure optimal operations and maintenance. We create the conditions for greater financial and technical results, retain the value of the asset, safeguard compliance and monitor performance of any third parties involved in the project. Be it your project or ours, Hyphen’s performance is guaranteed.
