By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 3 – Origis Energy received a commitment of up to $100 million in growth capital from Baltisse, the European private investment firm of Filip Balcaen, according to a press release.

Baltisse had previously contributed financing to Origis solar projects in Europe and the United States.

As a result of the new commitment, Balcaen will become a member of the Origis board.

“The capital comes at a pivotal time in the accelerating U.S. solar market,” the release states. “The funding empowers Origis to strengthen its offerings to utilities and large scale corporate energy buyers seeking solar as a clean energy alternative for their power generation needs.”

The company said in the United States it works with the Southern Co., Pacific Corp, Idaho Power, South Mississippi Electric Power Association and the city of Tallahassee, Fla.

Baltisse focuses on private equity and real estate investments. Its target markets include industry, food and beverage, health care, energy and services.

Origis is a Miami-based solar development and construction firm with a photovoltaic portfolio of more than 600 megawatts.
