The renewable energy landscape in Germany has just received a significant push with EB-SIM’s announcement on September 9, 2025, of acquiring a majority stake in a wind portfolio from European Energy. While the deal value has not been disclosed, the move highlights the rising investor confidence in Germany’s wind energy sector and the growing importance of sustainable asset management across Europe.

EB-SIM has taken a 75% stake in EE Drei Hugel GmbH and EE Nautschketal GmbH, the special purpose vehicles holding the rights to the wind portfolio. European Energy retains a 25% share and continues to provide technical and commercial management services, ensuring operational expertise remains embedded within the projects. This divestment underlines European Energy’s ability to rotate assets while continuing to strengthen its foothold in Germany’s renewable market.

The 33.11 MW portfolio comprises two projects in Saxony-Anhalt, both part of repowering initiatives that replace aging turbines with more efficient, higher-capacity models. The Drei Hugel wind farm, with five Enercon turbines, delivers clean power to around 11,700 households, while the Vier Berge IV wind farm adds three new turbines of varying capacities. Beyond electricity generation, these projects foster regional development through community investments, environmental enhancements such as orchard planting, and financial contributions to local initiatives. With long-term service agreements and compliance with EU taxonomy standards, the portfolio represents both technical reliability and sustainable value.

The acquisition was financed through an Article 9 fund advised by EB-SIM, emphasizing ethical and sustainable investments aligned with EU taxonomy principles. Power sales are secured through Germany’s 20-year EEG feed-in tariff, with rates averaging €57.6/MWh, providing stability and predictability for long-term returns. This structure not only de-risks the projects but also ensures they continue contributing to Germany’s renewable energy targets well into the future. For EB-SIM, the transaction strengthens its investment footprint in the European energy transition, while for European Energy, it marks another successful step in balancing asset rotation with ongoing market engagement.

Germany’s renewable energy expansion continues to attract robust investment, and deals like this demonstrate the growing momentum in wind power. As demand for clean electricity rises, such partnerships will be pivotal in driving both energy security and sustainability.
