EPURON acquires German operating wind park Cottbuser Halde
Hamburg - EPURON announces that it has acquired the 28 MW operating wind park Cottbuser Halde in Brandenburg, eastern Germany from Green Wind Renewables A/S, part of Danish wind energy group Green Wind Energy, which is currently in reconstruction proceedings under Danish bankruptcy law.The add-on acquisition by the Hamburg and Paris based wind park developer and operator EPURON is being funded by its owner Impax New Energy Investors II L.P ("NEF II" or "the Fund"), an investment fund managed by Impax Asset Management Limited ("Impax"), one of the leading specialist managers of listed and private equity funds dedicated to investing in the environmental markets.
The Cottbuser Halde wind park consists of 14 Vestas V90 turbines and has been in operation since early 2009. Long-term project financing is in place with Deutsche Kreditbank.
EPURON’s Managing Director and Group CFO, Michael Weißflog, said:
"Impax is an investor ideally placed to support the strategy of EPURON in building a significant wind energy portfolio. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a German operating wind farm at attractive terms."
"The acquisition is in line with EPURON’s growth strategy and the Cottbuser Halde wind park has a good geographic fit with our existing portfolio. It validates EPURON’s strategy to create a portfolio of significant size in Germany through own development and add-on acquisitions and to become a medium-sized independent renewable power producer."
