Bremen/London, 5 April 2022 - Energiekontor (ISIN DE0005313506), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks, sold a further wind park project in Scotland to Capital Dynamics, an independent global private asset management firm. Pines Burn is a 34 MW shovel-ready, subsidy-free onshore wind project located in the Scottish Borders, Scotland, and is expected to reach commercial operations in the second half of 2023. Pines Burn is already the third wind park project Energiekontor sold to Capital Dynamics in Scotland after the the Longhill and Sorbie wind projects in 2021. As such, nearly 100 MW from Energiekontor's project pipeline in Scotland has already been sold successfully. "The realization of our Scottish project pipeline continues to gain momentum. In less than a year, we have already been able to sell almost 100 MW of wind projects. We are particularly pleased about the further cooperation with Capital Dynamics, as a renowned, reliable and strong partner." explains Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor. "We will continue the successive and successful realization of our well-filled project pipeline in Scotland in the months to come. By doing so, we also contribute to increasing Scotland's independence from fossil fuels and to achieve its goal to reach 'net zero' by 2045." "With the increasing importance of energy security in Europe, we are delighted to add Pines Burn Wind Farm to our extensive program of investments in the build-out of new, renewable power generation capacity across the Continent," said Barney Coles, Co-Head of Capital Dynamics Clean Energy. "Our long-standing collaboration with Energiekontor continues to deliver infrastructure that will underpin reductions in household energy bills in the long run and create local green jobs that support the UK's 'levelling up' agenda whilst making a meaningful contribution towards its net zero ambitions." The Project will make significant payment contributions to local community groups. During the construction of the project, the site will employ over 85 workers, many from the local area. In addition, Pines Burn is estimated to reduce greenhouse emissions by 0.5 million metric tons during its lifetime and generate the equivalent electricity consumption of over 23,200 average U.K. households per year (1).
