Masdar secures funds for Baltic Eagle acquisition: <\/strong>UAE renewables firm Masdar has reached financial close on EUR 488 mn in funding to secure its 49% acquisition of the 476 MW Baltic Eagle wind farm<\/a> off the coast of Germany, according to a statement<\/a> published on Friday. Masdar entered an strategic agreement with Spanish utility provider Iberdrola back last July to coinvest in the purchase of a the EUR 1.6 bn project. The lending package marks Masdar\u2019s largest EUR-denominated financing.<\/p>\n

About the wind farm: <\/strong>Baltic Eagle is currently being built off Germany\u2019s northeastern coast and will comprise 50 wind turbines, each with a 9.53 MW generation capacity. The project \u2014 which is slated to kick off initial operations by the end of 2024 \u2014 will produce 1.9 TWh of clean energy once it achieves full production capacity, providing renewable power to some 475k homes and offsetting c. 800k tons of carbon emissions annually. 100% of Baltic Eagle\u2019s production volume has already been sold via long-term offtake agreements.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s backing the transaction? <\/strong>ABN AMRO, Credit Agricole CIB, ING, Santander, and Siemens Bank have contributed to the lending package, and Santander acted as financial advisor.<\/p>\n

Masdar is expanding its EU presence:<\/strong> Masdar finalized the acquisition of a 49% stake in the UK\u2019s 3 GW Dogger Bank South wind farm<\/a> from German energy giant RWE earlier this month. Masdar and RWE agreed to co-develop the Dogger Bank South wind farm which will be split across two sites with 1.5 GW of capacity each. The first 800 MW of electricity is expected to come online in 2029. Masdar and RWE are also operating the 630 MW London Array offshore wind farm. <\/p>\n

IN OTHER MASDAR NEWS- <\/strong>Another <\/strong>Uzbekistan venture: <\/strong>Masdar signed an agreement with Uzbekistan's state hydroelectric power producer JSC Uzbekhydroenergo to explore the feasibility of developing large-scale pumped storage hydro projects<\/a> across Uzbekistan, according to a statement<\/a> released on Friday. Pumped storage hydro is crucial for stabilizing the intermittent supply from renewable sources like solar and wind, offering a utility-scale storage solution. Masdar already connected 1.4 GW of renewable energy from wind and solar projects to Uzbekistan\u2019s grid last December<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
