Evangelos Mytilineos, president and CEO of MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals, had a series of contacts in Canada in the last few days.
The company has acquired a 1.4 GW solar portfolio in Alberta from Westbridge Renewable Energy, an investment exceeding CAD 1.7 billion (1.16 billion euros), for the construction of five photovoltaic parks in the area.
The meeting took place on the occasion of the visit of the Greek Prime Minister to Canada.
Mytilineos met with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
During their meeting, they had the opportunity to discuss the possibilities for further cooperation between the two countries, as well as Canada’s cooperation with European industry, since Mytilineos is also the president of Eurometaux, an organization that represents industries of non-ferrous metals in Europe, whose members have 500 thousand direct and 3 million indirect employees and an annual turnover of 120 billion euros.
Meeting with Prem Watsa
During his visit to Canada, Mytilineos also had a meeting with Prem Watsa, president and CEO of Fairfax Financial Holdings, based in Toronto, who has important investment positions in the country, including MYTILINEOS.
As part of his visit to Canada, Mytilineos is also going to have a series of meetings with the authorities of Alberta, as well as with the country’s investment organizations.
