Aquila Capital acquires 24 MW operating Swedish wind farm for a Swiss investment foundation

Hamburg, 01 December 2022 – Aquila Capital, the sustainable investment management and asset development company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, has advised a Swiss investment foundation on the acquisition of a 24 MW operating wind farm in the southwest of Sweden.

Going forward, Aquila Capital will manage the investment for the Swiss investment foundation. The seller of the asset was a vehicle managed by Prime Capital AG, an independent asset management firm and financial services provider, specialising in alternative investments.

The 24 MW wind farm generates sufficient electricity to power the equivalent of 22,500 European households per year. As the asset is in operation, production is already contributing to climate goals and revenue streams from the feed-in of the green electricity produced will be generated with immediate effect. With this acquisition, Aquila Capital is expanding its position as a leading asset manager in the field of renewable energy in the Nordic countries.

Maurice Jäckel, Senior Manager, Partnership and Portfolio Advisory at Aquila Clean Energy EMEA, Aquila Capital’s clean energy development platform in Europe, comments: “Due to its outstanding location, less than 100 km from the Baltic Sea and close to the largest lake in Sweden, Lake Vänern, this wind farm has a capacity factor comparable to some offshore wind farms. We are delighted to add a wind farm with such a production profile.”

Till Schulz-Eickhorst, Portfolio Officer and Managing Director at Aquila Capital Investmentgesellschaft, the licensed alternative investment fund management entity of Aquila Capital, says: “We are very pleased to have secured a Swedish operating wind farm on behalf of our investor. This asset will contribute revenue immediately and further diversify the geography and technology of the portfolio.”
