Q-Energy Deutschland GmbH ("Q-Energy") prevails in a bidding process conducted by Capcora and acquires a wind farm in Southern Germany. The project is currently planned with a total capacity of 27.5 MW. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

The wind farm, located in Baden-Württemberg, will now be jointly advanced under the partnership. The commissioning of the first turbines is scheduled for 2025.

In addition to repowering projects, we are increasingly investing in new developments and with the acquisition of this wind farm we can also prove our competitiveness in this segment."

The consulting firm Capcora identified Q-Energy as the investor as part of a structured bidding process.

Henning Prigge, responsible director at Capcora for this transaction, adds: "We are pleased that we were able to help our client find the right buyer for this exciting project. Especially in times of rising interest rates and commodity prices as well as volatile energy markets, good access to institutional capital as well as strong partners for project development and implementation can bring great advantages."
