The meeco Group pursues growth in Latin America thanks to off-grid projects

Present in both North and South America, The meeco Group is strategically positioned to answer clean energy needs in both regions.  However, the situation is very different from one market to other. “In the United States, power purchase agreement prices have significantly decreased during 2012 and the Federal cash-grant program has was allowed to expire.
