Frankfurt am Main (renewablepress) - Greencells Group has agreed to acquire a portfolio of late-stage solar PV development projects in Germany from Stark Energie, an international project developer of utility-scale solar projects. The portfolio consists of three projects, which Stark Energie will develop to the ready-to-build (RTB) stage. Capcora supported the seller as exclusive M&A advisor in this transaction.

Stark Energie, which also operates under the name Stark Energy in the UK, has been active in the renewable energy sector since 2019. Known for its exceptional track record in securing planning consent for solar PV projects, the company has advanced over 1 GW of solar projects to various stages of development and construction in the UK. In Germany, Stark Energie currently has 610 MW of projects in development.

This acquisition marks a significant milestone for both companies, further strengthening their positions in the German PV market. With Stark Energie’s development expertise and Greencells Group’s extensive experience in solar EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) and O&M (Operations & Maintenance) services, the partnership is poised to deliver high-quality solar energy projects.

"We are delighted to have identified Greencells as the ideal partner for our projects in Germany, building on our success in the UK to deliver high-quality results. This collaboration will focus on leveraging our combined expertise to advance our strategic objectives in Germany.", said Thomas Schindler, Director at Stark Energie.

Founded in 2009 in Saarbrücken, Germany, Greencells Group has expanded from a small assembly company to a global leader in solar EPC and O&M services with over 3.0 GWp of installed capacity. The company leverages its technical expertise and strong financial partnerships to co-develop projects for major players in the renewable energy industry.

"Alongside our established project development capabilities, partnering with Stark Energie enhances our strategy by enabling us to acquire advanced-stage projects. This dual approach strengthens our presence and accelerates our objectives in the German market.", said Andreas Hoffmann, CEO at Greencells.

Stark Energie was advised as to legal matters by Watson Farley & Williams. Capcora acted as Stark Energie’s M&A advisor.
