The company will develop projects and offer general consultancy for the renewable energy sector. "PV systems are becoming cost competitive in more and more countries in South East Asia, without any need for subsidies.

His career in the solar industry began 19 years ago with Siemens Solar, followed by five years at Shell Solar. He was Managing Director of Phoenix Solar from 2006 to 2015. Christophe is also the Deputy Chairman of the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS), and has chaired its Clean Energy Committee since 2006. Chee Ming, Technical Director of Energetix, has worked alongside Christophe since 1996 at Siemens Solar.

He has deep technical expertise in PV power plant design and project management, having led megawatt-scale PV projects in India, China, Thailand, Malaysia,Philippines, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. Yeen Yee will take on the role of Commercial Director at Energetix.

Yeen Yee has crucial experience in an industry which relies on innovative financing models. "As a proven team, we have what it takes to grow a successful company," said Christophe Inglin.
