A sale of the assets for as much as €25 billion has been close to completion several times but encountered German budget difficulties.

The 960 MW He Dreiht offshore wind farm, worth €2.4 billion, is being developed by EnBW.

The company is responding to the rapidly increasing global demand for transformers and energy technology.

Once completed, the project will generate enough electricity to supply around 475000 homes annually.

The six-turbine Jüchen A 44n wind farm was rebuilt following the discovery of structural defects in the concrete parts of the hybrid towers of the original turbines.

The funds are necessary for modernisation of the grid

At the moment, the power plant is Europe’s largest operational PV project.

The sale of Trench from Siemens Energy to Triton has been successfully completed.

The funds will be used for overhead power lines, on- and offshore cables, substations and other technologies.

A sales increase of around 9.5 percent and significant investments lay a stable foundation for further sustainable global growth and structural realignment.

The deal is worth about €1.2 billion.
