Legal Specialist, Real Estate & Land Acquisition

Share

NatPower is a global Energy Enabler for the energy transition.

Its role is to enable complex energy systems to emerge, connect and operate at scale, transforming energy needs, industrial constraints and climate objectives into sustainable, operational and bankable infrastructure.

Founded in 2019 as an independent company, NatPower was conceived to operate where complexity prevents traditional models from working. Rather than focusing on single assets or technologies, NatPower integrates development, infrastructure, finance and territories into coherent energy ecosystems.

The Group works with industrial partners, utilities, investors and public institutions to originate, structure and orchestrate projects that translate the energy transition from ambition into execution.

Today, NatPower operates across multiple geographies with dedicated teams in Europe, North America and Central Asia, managing a global development pipeline exceeding 24 GW across multiple technologies.
