Grenergy launches a share buyback program for a maximum amount
of 40 million euros
- At today’s market closing price, January 7, 2025, this figure represents 4.13% of its total capital.
- Grenergy reaffirms its commitment to rewarding and generating value for its shareholders.
Grenergy has launched a new share buyback program worth up to 40 million euros, further demonstrating its commitment to rewarding and creating value for its shareholders. Through this program, Grenergy aims to reduce the company’s share capital by a redemption of its own shares, with the goal of enhancing shareholder returns by increasing earnings per share.
As a result of this operation, previously authorized by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, the company may acquire up to a maximum of 2,000,000 shares. This acquisition, together with the existing treasury shares, will not at any time exceed the legal limit, which currently stands at 10% of the share capital. At today’s market closing price, January 7, 2025, this figure would represent 4.13% of its total capital. The company launched a similar share buyback program in October 2023 with a final executed amount of 35 million euros. With this strategy, Grenergy continues to demonstrate its commitment to remunerating its shareholders and long-term value creation.
A high-value transaction

Grenergy recently announced the sale of the first three phases of Oasis de Atacama,
representing just 23% of the total project, to ContourGlobal, a subsidiary of KKR, for up to USD$962 million.
This transaction has generated significant cash flow for the company, showcasing its ability to create value and profitability of hybrid projects with batteries. Additionally, it has reduced its leverage ratio to less than 1x on a proforma basis. The company has also achieved its 2026 asset rotation target two years ahead of schedule and secured financing for both the remaining Oasis de Atacama project and the investments planned in its 2023–2026 strategic plan.
Strong support from the analysts

The company has a solid coverage from major investment banks. Of the 14 firms covering Grenergy, the vast majority recommend buying and none suggest selling, achieving a consensus target price of 46.3 euros per share, implying a potential upside of over 40%.
Following the sale to ContourGlobal (KKR) for nearly USD$1 billion, updates to target prices were issued. Notably, BofA set Grenergy’s target price at €72.50 per share, while RBC established it at €70 per share.
“This initiative not only reflects our confidence in the company’s growth potential, but also our dedication to rewarding our shareholders. The recent milestone of hybrid projects sales in Chile, strongly supported by the analyst community, underscore our ability to create value and our determination to achieve our strategic goals.”
