Encavis invests in 55 MW wind and solar assets

Encavis Asset Management AG, a subsidiary of solar park and wind farm operator Encavis AG, has recently acquired three solar parks in The Netherlands and one wind farm in Germany with a total generating capacity of more than 55 megawatts (MW).

The renewable energy farms have been acquired by the Encavis Infrastructure Fund II Renewables Europe II (EIF II).

The fund portfolio now includes Gieboldehausen wind farm in the district of Göttingen in Lower Saxony. Eight Vestas wind turbines with a total nominal output of 28.5 megawatts were built and commissioned between 2016 and 2019. The turbines were planned by the energy park developer UKA, who will continue the technical wind park management via UKB Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen Betriebsführung.

The three solar parks are located at different sites in The Netherlands. The Flierbelten solar park in the province of Overijssel has been feeding up to 5.7 MW into the power grid since the beginning of March 2020. The Jumaheerd park with a capacity of 6.6 MW will be completed soon. The Sekdoorn solar park near the city of Zwolle was built on a quarry pond. After connection to the grid in July 2020, the partly floating plants are expected to generate a total output of 14.6 MW. The PV systems were developed and realized by BayWa r.e.

These solar and wind power plants save around 57 tonnes of climate-damaging CO2 emissions every year.
