Project Pipeline Continues to Grow Strongly: Qualitas Energy Acquires 250 MW Wind Energy Portfolio

Berlin, Germany - The investment, management and project development service provider Qualitas Energy is continuing its growth trajectory on the German market with the acquisition of four further wind farm projects.

The wind energy portfolio comprises a total of 37 wind turbines with a capacity of 250 MW in four projects at an advanced stage of development at locations in Saxony-Anhalt, Hesse, Lower Saxony and Baden-Württemberg.

Once commissioned, the wind farms will supply over 166,000 households with green electricity, which, according to the project developer, corresponds to the electricity supply of a city the size of Duisburg.

The transaction expands Qualitas Energy's growing portfolio in Germany and follows the recently announced acquisitions of a wind farm with 32 turbines near the German North Sea coast and seven other wind farms with a repowering potential of 173 MW. It is also the largest transaction since the acquisition of the 1,400 MW (1.4 GW) Duno Air wind development business in Germany in spring 2023.

Qualitas Energy can draw on financing from the Qualitas Energy Fund V, which was concluded in 2022 with a volume of EUR 2.4 billion, for the company's investment strategy.

„Wind power is already one of the most cost-effective and reliable sources of sustainable electricity, which is why it is at the heart of our investment strategy.Our focus is on leveraging its potential through impactful projects that drive the energy transition and deliver lasting benefits to the environment and local communities“, says Johannes Overbeck, Co-CEO of Qualitas Energy in Germany.

Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH is part of the Spanish Qualitas Energy Group. With a team of more than 250 employees in Berlin, Hamburg, Wiesbaden, Trier, Cologne and Stuttgart, the company focusses on the acquisition, financing and project development as well as the construction and operation of onshore wind turbines.
