Renewable energy developer and operator Aneo announced that it has acquired RWE Renewables Sweden’s wind power portfolio, which produces about 500 GWh annually.
The purchase includes 124 MW of onshore wind spread across 11 wind farms, 48 MW of nearshore wind power and employees with expertise in project development, operations and maintenance services.
According to Aneo, the agreement will reinforce the company’s position as a leader in Nordic renewable energy. The acquisition follows Aneo’s purchase of Swedish wind power company Arise earlier this month.
Aneo CEO Gunnar Hovland said:
“This is a portfolio we have looked at with great interest, and we are very pleased to have closed this agreement. The acquisition gives us significant scale in the Swedish market and diversifies our production geographically and technologically.Together with the Arise transaction, we are now establishing ourselves as one of the leading Nordic players in renewable energy.
RWE CEO Renewables Europe & Australia Katja Wünschel added:
“We are delighted that our Swedish wind business and its project teams will be joining Aneo. As a key player in the Nordic wind sector, Aneo is dedicated to building a robust, long-term portfolio in Sweden, advancing energy projects that meet rising energy demand, create jobs and invest in communities.
The agreement has been signed and is subject to regulatory approval in Sweden, which is expected to take a couple of months.
