The acquisitions include Centreco, a UK-based solar PV and energy consultancy business; Isolatiespecialist, a provider of energy efficiency and insulation services in the Netherlands; Solcellekraft, one of Norway's largest solar PV businesses; SLER40, a French solar PV and heat pump business; and San Isabel Services Propane, a US propane distributor in Colorado. The acquisitions are expected to deliver a mid-teen return on capital employed in their first full year of ownership.

He stated that DCC Energy plans to double its adjusted operating profit by 2030 and significantly reduce customers' carbon emissions.
