Berlin  - Qualitas Energy, a global investment, management, and project development platform focused on renewable energy, energy transition, and sustainable infrastructure investment, announced today the successful acquisition of greenfield project rights for a wind farm with a total capacity of 56.7 MW.

The in-house project development team is planning a wind farm with a total of 8 turbines to supply more than 38,000 households in the future and is working closely with the seller to ensure the project’s success.

“We are united by a common mission, and this partnership is our way of accelerating the energy transition,” said Borja Caruana, Managing Director of Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH. “At Qualitas Energy, we are focused on growth, acquiring project rights for greenfield developments as well as existing parks for repowering projects throughout Germany. We develop projects agilely and effectively, both independently and in successful collaborations, to make a significant contribution to the energy transition.”

The company is accelerating the energy transition in Germany not only through acquisitions, but also through the development, construction, and operation of new projects.

“We have ambitious investment targets for the German market. Our investment strategy aims to identify and develop projects that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. We are pleased, as in this case, to work with strong local developers on an equal footing,” emphasizes Johannes Overbeck, Head of Investment at Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH.

Qualitas Energy extends an invitation to wind farm operators for potential collaboration on upcoming projects. Qualitas Energy is strongly positioned in terms of personnel and finances to implement further projects both independently and in cooperation. In view of the urgent need for green capital, the company plans to invest around €1.2 billion in the acquisition and development of repowering and greenfield projects in Germany. This initiative aims to significantly expand its internal project development pipeline to a total capacity of 4 GW, reinforcing its commitment to advancing the energy transition.
