Taylor Wessing advises CEE Group on the acquisition of the wind farm Hainstadt-Buchen

Under the leadership of its Hamburg partner Carsten Bartholl, the International law firm Taylor Wessing advised the renewable asset manager CEE Group on another renewable energy transaction. Hamburg-based CEE Group is expanding its wind power portfolio with four wind turbines in the north of Baden-Württemberg. There, the company has purchased the newly developing wind farm Hainstadt-Buchen from ABO Wind AG. Located in the Neckar-Odenwald district, the wind farm consists of four Vestas V126 wind turbines with a hub height of 149 meters. The total capacity of the four turbines is 13.8 MW, and the expected electricity generation is 31 million kWh per year. The seller of the turbines is ABO Wind AG, based in Wiesbaden, Germany. The four new wind turbines will produce clean electricity for about 26,000 people, saving about 24,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually in the future. The commercial law firm Taylor Wessing and the consulting firm Evergy Engineering GmbH acted as legal and technical advisors respectively in this transaction.
