Platform building for investors
We build energy platforms from scratch, to the investor's specification.
For infrastructure funds, private equity, family offices and corporates that want their own platform in Spain or Portugal instead of buying finished assets at the end of the value chain. You set the requirements. We build the company, the team and the pipeline, and run it until it stands on its own.
When it makes sense
- ·You want exposure to an energy segment in Iberia and prefer to create the value rather than pay for someone else's.
- ·You have the capital and the thesis, but no team on the ground.
- ·You want a platform designed around your own requirements: technology, size, risk profile and timeline.
What we deliver
The team
Management and key hires in development, construction and asset management. We take executive roles until the team is complete.
The pipeline
Origination of projects and companies to your criteria, from early development to construction-ready.
Grid and permits
Grid access, permitting and the relationship with authorities and grid operators.
Construction and operations
Contracting and managing construction, operation and maintenance, and the asset management around them.
Handover or growth
We hand the platform over to your team, or stay on as chair or executives and keep growing it.

Why us
We have done it before. Ignacio López Martín co-founded Cable Energía in 2019 and built it into an EV fast-charging platform in Spain and Portugal that Shell acquired in 2022 and Acciona Energía bought in 2025. Today our companies develop battery storage projects (Capflex Energía) and provide wind turbine services with drones (Eolinet Renovables) in Spain.
