“To achieve its climate goals, the South Korean government continues to push to meet 20% of its energy needs from clean energy sources by 2030,” ACE APAC CEO Alexander Lenz. 

“We see this solar investment as an opportunity to support this goal and for us, a chance to establish a foothold in South Korea, a market whose prospects we are bullish on, especially considering the government’s supportive policies for a smooth energy transition,” he added.

ACE APAC, a part of Hamburg, Germany-based Aquila Group, was established in South Korea in September 2022.
