THE NAME

Why Falkor.

Falkor is named after a travelling companion who never gives up and always ends up finding his luck.

That is how we invest: for the long run, project after project. Every plant that rises from the ground means energy produced here, a little sovereignty regained and a country more resilient to climate change.
