Wind farm developer UKA is selling five wind energy companies to Blue Elephant Energy AG, which is based in Hamburg. The UKA Group’s 17 planned wind turbines, with a nominal capacity of 52 megawatts in total, were erected in Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
This specifically means:
- four Vestas V112 turbines, each with a 3.45 megawatt power rating, at Baruth Groß-Ziescht wind farm (Brandenburg, Teltow Fläming district),
- one Vestas V90 (2.0 megawatts) and five Vestas V112s (3.0 megawatts) at Danna wind farm (Brandenburg, Teltow Fläming district),
- two Vestas V112s (3.0 megawatts) as well as two Vestas V126s (3.45 megawatts) at Uebigau wind farm (Brandenburg, Elbe-Elster district),
- as well as one Vestas V90 (2.0 megawatts) and two Vestas V112s (3.0 megawatts) at Wansleben wind farm (Saxony-Anhalt, Mansfeld-Südharz district).
The UKA Group will continue to take on the technical wind farm management through UKB Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen Betriebsführung. The transaction will also enable Blue Elephant Energy to exploit attractive wind sites in the east of Germany and expand its portfolio to 11 wind farms in total.
