Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, France’s public interest financial institution, has acquired a 49.9% stake in onshore wind farm company Aalto Power from InfraVia Capital. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Aalto Power, which is majority-owned by holding company Aïolos, in turn controlled by the Prométhée group has a portfolio of nine wind farms in France with an aggregate capacity of 99 MW.
