Hamburg (renewablepress) - CEE Group, the Hamburg-based renewable asset manager and DunoAir, an experienced wind energy project development company based in The Netherlands, announced today that that CEE has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of two wind farms in Hesse (Hessen) and Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz) in Germany from DunoAir. The acquisition increases the rated capacity of its wind portfolio to 370 megawatts (MW).

The wind farm in Kuhbett, Hesse, consists of four Enercon E-115 turbines and has a total capacity of 12 MW.

“We are delighted to have successfully completed the acquisition of Kuhbett and Kappel-Faas wind farms which is in line with CEE’s strategic objective of concentrating on our core business in Germany and France.” said Detlef Schreiber, CEO of CEE Group. “Looking ahead, we will continue to work with partners as we implement our growth strategy which includes expanding into new continental European markets” he added.
