Norwegian energy group beefs up its asset base in Ireland acquiring portfolio of wind farms
Norwegian energy group Statkraft has acquired a portfolio of wind farms in Ireland from London-listed investment firm TRIG for an undisclosed sum.“It is anticipated that the assets, some of which began operating in 2000, could provide repowering opportunities in the future,” the company said, making Statkraft one of the first renewable energy companies in Ireland to begin repowering older wind farms.
The Norwegian group said the acquisition was part of Statkraft’s strategy to further strengthen its position in Europe. In 2021, Statkraft added 43 operational wind farms in Germany and France, with a combined capacity of almost 350 MW, to its European onshore wind portfolio.
