Qualitas Energy Expands German Wind Portfolio with Acquisition of Repowering Project

Qualitas Energy has announced the acquisition of a wind farm undergoing repowering in Lower Saxony, Germany. The 32-turbine wind farm, located on the German North Sea coast, has been operational since 1998 and is currently undergoing a significant upgrade.

The repowering project involves replacing existing turbines with five new, more efficient models. This upgrade will increase the wind farm’s total output from 17.2MW to 21.6MW, leading to increased energy production and more sustainable power generation for over 14,000 households.

“This acquisition expands our wind energy portfolio with a highly promising project in an excellent wind location,” said Johannes Overbeck, Head of Investment at Qualitas Energy Deutschland. “Qualitas Energy is committed to a long-term strategy of identifying and developing high-quality renewable energy projects, contributing to the acceleration of the energy transition.”

This acquisition adds to Qualitas Energy’s growing portfolio of over 100 projects in Germany. The company is actively pursuing its goal of reaching a total capacity of 4GW in the German market. This expansion is supported by €1.2 billion in funding from Qualitas Energy Fund V, which closed in 2022.

Qualitas Energy Deutschland, a subsidiary of Qualitas Energy, specializes in the acquisition, financing, development, construction, and operation of onshore wind turbines.
