Swedish solar developer and independent power producer Alight has appointed Leixandre Mera as its new chief financial officer.
He previously held the same position at Opdenergy, an independent renewable energy producer with projects across Europe and the Americas, where he played a key role in its IPO on the Spanish Stock Exchange.
Prior to that, he worked in financial and accounting roles at Xylem Water Solutions and minerals technology company CETCO.
Alight chief executive Harald Överholm said Mera “brings a strong track record of leading financial teams in the renewable energy sector”.
“This, coupled with his extensive international experience gained at world-leading companies, will be crucial as Alight continues to build and scale sustainable solar-as-a-service projects across Europe.”
Alight was founded in 2013 and says that it is on track to to have an installed capacity of at least 5GW backed with solar PPAs by 2030.
It is developing more than 1GW of PPA-based projects across Sweden, with a further 170MW under development across the rest of Europe.
