Altano Energy operates as an institutional renewables platform, concentrating on the development and management of a diversified portfolio of renewable energy projects across Southern Europe. Founded in Madrid in 2021 by Miguel Sánchez-Praena Ferrer and Íñigo Sánchez-Junco Ayala, the company was established to build a large-scale, institutional renewable power portfolio in Spain. The firm is backed by Pioneer Point Partners, a sustainable infrastructure investment firm. The founding team possesses significant experience in the energy and infrastructure sectors.
CEO & Co-Founder Miguel Sánchez-Praena Ferrer has over two decades of experience in these sectors, with leadership roles at companies like Acciona and SunEdison. COO & Co-Founder Íñigo Sánchez-Junco Ayala brings more than 16 years of experience in the renewables sector, having previously worked at Iberdrola, SunEdison, and Canadian Solar. Their combined expertise in M&A, project finance, and B2B development forms the strategic foundation of Altano’s operations. Altano Energy’s B2B model centers on acquiring, developing, constructing, and operating renewable energy assets.
The company secures capital from institutional investors to finance these projects. Its portfolio is diversified across multiple technologies, including solar photovoltaic, onshore wind, and hydropower. This multi-technology approach is designed to stabilize power production and improve revenue by blending energy sources that complement each other, such as solar power during the day and wind power at night. The company makes money through the sale of energy generated by its assets, often securing long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with off-takers like Engie España.
The company’s asset base includes projects at various stages: in operation, under construction, and in development. For instance, Altano has secured financing for hybrid projects in Andalusia, which include two onshore wind farms and three photovoltaic plants. As of mid-2025, it had 179 MW in operation, 134 MW under construction, and a further 1,200 MW in development. The company is also actively exploring emerging technologies such as battery storage, pumped storage, and green hydrogen to further enhance its portfolio and provide grid stability services.
A key feature of its projects is the forward-thinking design, which includes reserving space and transformer capacity for future battery integration.
