Israel’s OPC Energy Ltd. will invest nearly $200 million in the “rapid growth” of a recently-acquiredBloomberg Terminal renewable energy business in the U.S., according to its chief executive officer.

The firm expects half the solar projects developed by Competitive Power Ventures, which an OPC-led group agreed to buy for $630 million this week, to be operational within three years, Giora Almogy said in an interview Wednesday. It will take another two years before all the 2.2 gigawatts-worth of investments are ready, he said.
