juwi and CEE Group have a longstanding relationship, with the transaction marking the eighth joint renewable project together. CEE Group recently acquired the Mohlis wind farm, which included the thousandth wind turbine completed by juwi – a milestone for juwi, a renewable energy pioneer.
“We are all the more delighted to be able to maintain this solid, long-standing business relationship and realise two projects with CEE this year”, states juwi CEO Michael Class, commenting on the deal. “We would like to express our thanks for this successful collaboration which has always been conducted on the basis of trust. This has shown once again that CEE is able to implement two project transactions reliably and efficiently almost simultaneously.”
Detlef Schreiber, CEO of CEE Group said: “We are pleased to have successfully closed another transaction with juwi who have been a valued partner since 2011. CEE Group’s success is underpinned by our history of collaboration with partners, with whom we have completed over 800 MW of capacity. juwi Group has clearly been such a partner since 2011, and we hope that we will continue to work together as successfully in the future on both German and international transactions.”
Jens Schnoor, CEE Investment Director, added: “The collaboration with juwi was once again very successful, and we look forward to working together in the future.”
The purchase price was not disclosed. Longstanding partners of juwi and CEE Group, Deutsche Kreditbank AG and Berliner Volksbank eG financed the acquisition.
Both wind farms are now under construction with commissioning expected in summer 2021.
