Qualitas Energy, a global investment and management platform focused on renewable energy, energy transition and sustainable infrastructure investment, recently completed the acquisition of DunoAir Windpark Planung GmbH, DunoAir’s German onshore wind development business.

Qualitas Energy commits to energy transition with the acquisition of DunoAir

This acquisition is expected to increase the total capacity of Qualitas Energy’s German platform to 2.9 GW, with further investments planned to reach 6.2 GW within the next two years. In this way, the transaction will allow Qualitas Energy to add 1.4 GW of projects under development to its German platform, strengthening its position as one of the key players in the German renewable energy sector.

Based in Trier, Germany, DunoAir’s onshore wind development business is a full-service company focused on the planning and construction of wind power plants in Germany, primarily in the western region of the country. The company currently has 1.4 GW of wind assets under development in its portfolio, which will continue to operate under the same brand and organizational structure after the acquisition.

Indeed, the acquisition of DunoAir’s onshore wind development business reflects Qualitas Energy’s commitment to the renewable energy sector in Germany and reinforces its efforts to support the energy transition.

Qualitas Energy focuses on driving change towards a low-carbon economy

Qualitas Energy’s German platform is part of its global portfolio, which currently holds more than 5 GW of energy assets in operation and under development in Spain, Germany, the UK, Italy and Poland. With more than 160 employees in its offices in Berlin, Hamburg, Wiesbaden and soon in Stuttgart, Qualitas Energy is now focusing on leading the change to a low-carbon economy.

The acquisition of DunoAir’s onshore wind development business was advised by Dentons (tax, legal) and Augusta&Co (financial) for Qualitas Energy, and by Greencap Partners (financial) and Ashurst (legal) for DunoAir. Arjen C.F. Ploeg, CEO of the DunoAir Group, expresses his pride in having built a company known for its business strategy and industry-leading solutions. He also points out that the acquisition represents a natural evolution for their business, allowing them to expand their reach and impact.

Thus, the acquisition of DunoAir’s German onshore wind development business by Qualitas Energy is a significant step towards the realization of the company’s ambitious investment plan in the country. With the addition of 1.4 GW of projects under development, Qualitas Energy’s German platform is expected to reach a total capacity of 6.2 GW within the next two years, further strengthening the company’s position as one of the key players in the German renewable energy sector.
