“I’m excited to be joining deugro group at this point in time. The renewable energy industry is evolving at a rapid pace and requiring investment and new innovative solutions to be able to meet climate goals whilst maintaining a declining Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE),” said Jørgensen.

The establishment of a dedicated sustainable energy team and appointment of Rasmus Jørgensen follows a number of similar decisions taken in the previous months. Tied directly to the renewables sector was deugro’s appointment of Christian Schulz as vice president – global business development – thermal power & renewables. The decision is, like the appointment of Jørgensen, effective since October 1.

This was soon followed by the company’s expansion in Brazil with the opening of a third office in Belo Horizonte.
