About

‘Since I was a teenager, I’ve always been concerned about environmental issues, so in 2005, I decided it was time to harmonise my calling for the defence of the planet with my professional activity, and so I entered Generg’. Generg is a group of companies operating in the field of natural energy (solar, wind and hydropower), and since joining the company in 2005, Ricardo Jesus has raised awareness of the regulatory and economic risks of activity centred in Portugal. A respected voice within the business, his insight led to increased discussions about mitigation measures and eventually led to the internationalisation of the company in 2014. During his time with the company Jesus has participated in a number of large-scale transactions, most important of which is the closing of a €600m project finance contract with international banks and EIB in 2008, at the height of the subprime crisis, which allowed the company to develop its portfolio in the following years.
