Energiekontor sells wind turbine in Jülich East to CEE Group

Bremen/Hamburg, 8 July 2021 — Energiekon­tor AG announces the sale of a sec­ond wind tur­bine in Jülich East, locat­ed north-west of the Garzweil­er open-cast mine in North Rhine-West­phalia. The sale of the first of the two iden­ti­cal tur­bines at the same loca­tion was announced about a month ago. As with the sale of the Jülich-Bar­men-Merzen­hausen wind farm announced a week ago, the buy­er of the sec­ond wind tur­bine is the CEE Group, a Ham­burg-based asset man­ag­er spe­cial­is­ing in invest­ments in renew­able ener­gies.

The Nordex N149 wind tur­bine in Jülich East has a hub height of 125 metres and a rat­ed out­put of 4.5 MW. Con­struc­tion work has already begun. Com­mis­sion­ing is sched­uled for the end of the first quar­ter of 2022.

The wind tur­bine is expect­ed to gen­er­ate almost 12 GWh of elec­tric­i­ty annu­al­ly; this cov­ers the elec­tric­i­ty needs of around 4,500 aver­age Ger­man house­holds.

Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekon­tor AG, is delight­ed: “This is already the third project over­all and the sec­ond with­in a very short time that we have sold to the CEE Group. The coop­er­a­tion between the part­ners is run­ning smooth­ly and we are there­fore pleased that we are now con­tin­u­ing our trust­ing col­lab­o­ra­tion with anoth­er trans­ac­tion at the Jülich East site.”

“With the acqui­si­tion of the wind tur­bine in Jülich East, we are fur­ther expand­ing our com­mit­ment in this region and also our coop­er­a­tion with Energiekon­tor,” explains Detlef Schreiber, CEO of the CEE Group. “The acqui­si­tion of the two new­ly emerg­ing wind farms in Jülich Ost and Jülich-Bar­men-Merzen­hausen is also strate­gi­cal­ly very inter­est­ing in terms of future oper­a­tion by our experts in the Oper­a­tions Team. As with the pre­vi­ous two trans­ac­tions, we would like to thank our part­ner Energiekon­tor for the once again very trust­ing coop­er­a­tion and the smooth pro­ce­dures and process­es.”
