French renewable energy company GreenYellow has announced plans to drive larger-scale energy projects in Spain following its acquisition of 100% of Getting Greener. This acquisition, part of the company’s growth strategy in Spain, also strengthens its position in the industrial decarbonisation market.

Getting Greener’s local market knowledge, talent and development capabilities will support GreenYellow’s plan to accelerate the decarbonisation of Spanish industry through solutions for energy efficiency, process electrification, solar photovoltaic self-consumption, energy storage and energy flexibility.

Strategic market
For GreenYellow, Spain is a strategic market in its European expansion plan, in which it has already invested €2.3 billion to extend its reach to fifteen countries. Getting Greener’s founders, Mariola Pina and Fernando Redondo, will remain in their respective roles as president and vice-president, and will join GreenYellow España as senior advisers.

Getting Greener was founded in 2020 with the goal of helping to leave a more sustainable planet for future generations. Over the years, it has helped the industry become more efficient and competitive. It will now draw on GreenYellow España’s international experience and investment capacity to continue innovating, with larger, higher impact projects.

Innovative projects
In Spain, GreenYellow is making significant investments, most notably the project launched in 2024 to decarbonise the Stellantis plant in Madrid. This innovative plan brings together three strategic pillars:  solar energy generation, electrification of thermal processes and energy storage.

One of the latest projects is the energy transformation of Eulogio Ramos’s agri-food plant in Barcience (Toledo), which specialises in dry-ageing hams. The process, completed in March this year without disrupting production, integrated advanced solutions for refrigeration, heat recovery and the electrification of thermal processes.

Also noteworthy is GreenYellow’s involvement in the pioneering refrigeration and solar energy project launched by Argentinian company PTP at the Port of the Bay of Cádiz in December 2025. The plan involves installing a centralised refrigeration system using natural refrigerant at the new refrigerated cargo terminal, currently under construction. Approximately 35% of its energy needs will be met by installing a photovoltaic system on the building’s roof.
