In LatAm, the Astris team has been behind some of the most relevant firsts in the region: first utility-scale solar project in Chile, in Peru, in El Salvador; and more recently, first thermosolar project on the continent (and largest in the world in fact - Cerro Dominador, Chile, US$ 1bn of financing raised in 2018 on behalf of private equity group EIG).
