State<\/strong>-owned renewables giant Masdar is eyeing up the acqui<\/strong>sition of a minority stake in Spanish utility firm <\/strong>Endesa<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s solar portfolio<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the matter and a document. The potential acquisition would see Masdar acquire a 49.9% stake in a 450 MW solar portfolio to the tune of USD 200 mn.<\/p>\n

Behind the move: <\/strong>While the Emirati renewables giant didn\u2019t confirm the reports, it said it was looking \u201cto explore opportunities in the region as [it expands] towards [its] global target of 100 GW by 2030,\u201d a Masdar company spokesperson told the news outlet. For its own part, Enel may be looking to relieve its debt obligations through minority sell offs whilst retaining control through a majority stake, Reuters said.<\/p>\n

This would be the latest in a long line of European renewable acquisitions: <\/strong>Masdar finalized a 49.99% stake acquisition in EGPE Solar, an Endesa subsidiary with a 2 GW capacity, last December<\/a>. Last year also saw it bolsters its European portfolio by acquiring 1.6 GW worth of renewables through the acquisition of Spanish renewables firm Saeta Yield<\/a>, in addition to a 70% stake<\/a> in Greece\u2019s Terna Energy, and a 49% stake<\/a> in the UK\u2019s 3 GW Dogger Bank. Across the pond, it also bought 50% of Terra-Gen Power Holdings<\/a>, a US renewable energy producer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
