Forestalia
Forestalia is a business group dedicated to renewable energies (wind, photovoltaic and biomass). It was born in Zaragoza in 2011, as result of the extensive previous business experience of Fernando Samper Rivas, president and founder of the group. From its Aragonese roots, Forestalia has grown with clear national and international vocation. Forestalia’s current project portfolio is 3.6 GW of renewable energies. Among them, almost 2 GW correspond to the Ministry of Industry 2016 and 2017 auctions, in which Forestalia was the largest bidder.
