Our pillars of
expertise

Project Development

Quality and feasibility are rigorously assessed by our development team to create a curated portfolio of greenfield and M&A projects that today account for over 10GW capacity ready to be adapted and built to meet our client needs. During project development, our engineers ensure that our projects are equipped with the latest technology.

All our projects can be designed with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), bifacial modules and other technologies to ensure maximum efficiency. This innovative thinking allowed us to be one of the first companies to introduce bifacial modules, TrueCapture technology and digital substations to Latin America.

Energy Commercialization

Our comprehensive understanding of the market allows us to structure deals and opportunities with bankable long-term, stable contracts backed by credit-worthy sponsors. The result: Atlas has a track record of more than 5.6 GW of renewable energy projects with some of the largest and most prestigious companies operating in Latin America. We were the first company to provide bilateral solar PV PPAs to private markets without subsidies in LatAm. In 2020, we were the #1 developer for private offtakers in the region and #6 worldwide.

Capital Structuring

Backed by robust investment from our sponsor GIP and leveraging our long-term relationships with leading financial institutions, we’ve raised over $5 billion USD in credit products from over a dozen banks around the globe including IDB Invest, OPIC, IFC, DNB Markets, Itaú, Santander, Bradesco, Banco Nordeste de Brasil, BanBras, and HSBC. Atlas tailors capital solutions for each project using traditional project finance, capital markets, mezzanine, and other non-traditional financing structures to ensure competitiveness.

Project EPC

Our EPC team has constructed and successfully delivered nearly 2.7 GW of renewable energy assets across multiple Latin American jurisdictions. Working with trusted regional construction partners, Atlas oversees any and all aspects of engineering, procurement and execution while ensuring the highest standards in ecosystems protection and social engagement with the communities near our projects. Through a rigorous EPC contracting process, we find the most reliable suppliers to build strong, long-term relationships that minimize the risk of delays, supply issues, and cost overruns.

Our internal asset management team works to enhance the performance of our projects after construction is completed. Our methodical approach to asset management closely measures each asset’s KPIs to track and enhance profitability, environmental preservation and protection and interaction with local communities.
