E128 Franjo Salic: Recharging the Energy Revolution
Description
What if the future of energy isn’t in building new projects — but rebuilding smarter ones?
Franjo Salic, Chief Investment Officer at CEE Group, joins Rich in Rotterdam to reveal how repowering and hybridisation are transforming renewables. From turning a 50 MW solar farm into 140 MW on the same land, to combining wind, solar, and storage into resilient super-sites, Franjo explains the real innovations powering Europe’s clean energy transition.
They dive into the economics of risk and return, the challenges of finding top talent, and why culture matters as much as technology. And at the heart of it all: Franjo’s belief that renewable energy is about more than returns — it’s about leaving a legacy strong enough for the next generation.
This isn’t theory. It’s the future of energy, built today.
