Raue provided comprehensive legal counsel to WestfalenWIND Group for the sale of the fully approved Bad Berleburg wind farm project to ENGIE. With a planned total capacity of 212 megawatts (MW), the project ranks among the largest onshore wind projects in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The wind farm is being built in Bad Berleburg, in the southern part of the region. 32 wind turbines are set to be connected to the grid by 2027. Once operational, the farm will produce around 500,000 megawatt hours of green electricity annually, which is enough to supply around 142,000 households in a climate-friendly manner.
Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW) is financing the project, structuring a financing volume of around 460 million euros as sole lead arranger.
“The sale of the Bad Berleburg project to ENGIE highlights the strength of the German onshore wind market – and the significance of reliable partnerships among developers, financiers and investors for the success of the energy transition,” says Christian von Hammerstein, partner at Raue.
This transaction marks another step in WestfalenWIND’s successful development strategy in renewable energy. The Paderborn-based group is one of the leading wind farm developers in North Rhine-Westphalia, committed to close cooperation with local communities and citizens.
