German group Encavis, specialised in the operation of solar and wind parks, has acquired a ready-to-build 48-megawatt (MW) wind project from developer ABO Energy. Located in Schierenberg, in the state of Brandenburg about 100 kilometres southeast of Berlin, the wind farm will consist of eight turbines. Commissioning is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
A strategic partnership between Encavis and ABO Energy
The transaction marks the first part of a joint portfolio of five wind projects, which will reach a combined total capacity of 106 MW once completed. The two companies have formalised an agreement to jointly implement these additional projects, thereby strengthening their long-standing collaboration.
Encavis currently operates around 800 MW of installed wind capacity in Germany. The Hamburg-based group continues its expansion plan in the European renewable energy sector through long-term partnerships with local developers.
Technical features of the Schierenberg project
The future Schierenberg wind farm will be equipped with eight turbines from Danish manufacturer Vestas, model V150/6.0, each with a unit capacity of 6 MW. The towers will reach a height of 169 metres. According to technical forecasts, the park is expected to generate approximately 148 gigawatt hours (GWh) annually.
The electricity produced will be covered by a twenty-year guaranteed purchase agreement under the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz – EEG). Maintenance for the entire period will be provided by Vestas.
Simplification of commercial processes
The sale of the project to Encavis comes amid a rise in long-term partnerships between investors and renewable energy developers in Germany. ABO Energy, which retains an active role in the upcoming joint projects, welcomes this collaboration as a lever to streamline the sales process and accelerate project timelines.
“Long-term partnerships significantly facilitate complex sales processes,” said Sebastian Sprengart, Head of Financing and Sales at ABO Energy.
