A partnership between Novo Holdings and European Energy will repower 17 operational wind parks in Germany tripling their total capacity.
The respective wind parks went operational between 2002 and 2008.
Novo Holdings and European Energy aim to replace these outdated wind turbines in the 17 German wind parks with modern turbines capable of generating significantly more renewable energy.
The wind parks have a combined capacity of 152MW, which is expected to more than triple following repowering.
Once operational, the updated wind parks are projected to generate over 1100GWh of electricity annually.
The projects have already secured most rights and are in advanced stages of development.
They are expected to achieve ready-to-build status between 2025 and 2027 and are forecast to become operational between 2027 and 2030.
Novo Holdings and European Energy have previously partnered in 2021, when they launched a collaboration with Sampension to develop solar and wind farms in Denmark and Sweden.
The partnership focuses on purchasing land for renewable energy projects while exploring ways to combine energy production with biodiversity and climate benefits.
Jens Peter Zink, deputy CEO of European Energy, said: “We are delighted to expand our excellent collaboration with Novo Holdings on so many renewable energy projects in Germany.
“With the increasing demand for electricity driven by the electrification of German society, it is only natural to commission more efficient wind turbines in existing wind farms.
“European Energy has extensive experience in repowering existing wind farms in Germany, and we intend to bring that expertise to these new projects.”
Morten Beck Jørgensen, managing partner, capital investments, Novo Holdings, said: “European Energy’s expertise in repowering projects and Germany’s support for onshore wind create an attractive investment case that advances the renewable energy agenda and showcases the impact of strategic partnerships.”
