Falck said the transaction values its six UK operational wind farms at a total of £451.2 million (EUR 546.2 million) including debt, making for an implicit price per megawatt of EUR 2 million. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014.
Falck is also creating a co-investment partnership with that fund to invest in wind and other renewable energy projects in Europe.
According to the terms of the deal, PensionDanmark fund Copenhagen Infrastructure is also expected to make nea- term investments of EUR 100 million in Falck wind projects that are already authorised and under construction. EUR 125 million will be invested in other renewable energy projects.
Falck earlier this year said it would seek a minority investor for UK wind farms and other operational assets and would co-develop future projects. It pointed to banks’ reduced willingness to finance projects, pressure on energy prices and a negative outlook for incentives.
