Taylor Wessing advises Thüga Erneuerbare Energien on the acquisition of two wind farms and two solar parks

Thüga Erneuerbare Energien GmbH & Co. KG (THEE) is expanding its portfolio with two existing wind farms in Brandenburg and Rhineland-Palatinate and two solar parks in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This will increase THEE's wind energy portfolio by 13.6 MW to around 282 MW. In 2018 / 2019 THEE had already acquired six solar parks, some of which are operated by its subsidiary THEE Solar GmbH & Co. KG, which is partly operated by its subsidiary THEE Solar GmbH & Co. With the current acquisition of the two additional projects THEE's solar energy portfolio increases by 3.2 MWp to 14.2 MWp. The municipal investor now operates a total of 27 wind farms and eight solar parks. The energy team of Taylor Wessing advised THEE on the legal aspects of the acquisitions, as they have done several times in the past, under the leadership of Hamburg partner Carsten Bartholl. These are not isolated cases: In the past year alone, the firm's energy team advised on renewable energy projects with a volume of more than 2,500 MW in various development phases in Europe and overseas.
