© CapcoraFrankfurt am Main (renewablepress) - Aukera Energy expands its renewable energy portfolio with the addition of a solar PV project and a co-located battery storage system (BESS) in Germany. The project, currently in an advanced development stage, is expected to have a capacity of 46 MW for solar PV and 40 MW for BESS. It is located in Rhineland-Palatinate. The project is being sold by an undisclosed German renewable developer. Frankfurt-based financial advisory boutique Capcora supported the seller as exclusive M&A advisor in this transaction.

The transaction was structured through a share purchase agreement, which also includes development service arrangements. Located in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate, the solar plant is expected to reach ready-to-build status by Q1 2025.

Aukera Energy was selected as the preferred bidder following a structured process led by sell-side M&A advisor Capcora. The transaction's success is largely due to the expertise of the teams involved, ensuring a smooth and efficient due diligence process. This deal offers strategic benefits for both companies.

“The project is on track to achieve Ready-to-Build status next year, and we are already preparing to kick off pre-construction and procurement activities. This proactive approach ensures that we stay ahead of schedule and maintain momentum. We are excited about the opportunity to deepen our collaboration with our development partner and look forward to working together on many more successful projects in the future.”, said Kemal Keskin, Aukera’s Germany MD.

“We are delighted to have played a key role in the seller’s successful project sale to Aukera Energy, a reputable partner in the renewable energy sector. This transaction not only adds significant value to both parties but also underscores the ongoing growth potential in the rapidly expanding German PV market.”, adds Jochen Magerfleisch, Managing Partner at Capcora.

Legally, Aukera Energy was advised by McDermott Will & Emery (Dr. Maximilian Uibeleisen). Reitzel & Thomas Rechtsanwälte (Johannes Reitzel) was supporting the seller as a legal advisor, while Capcora acted as an M&A advisor.
