Ardian Clean Energy Evergreen Fund acquires greenfield onshore wind project portfolio in Saxony, Germany
Type: Acquisition · Technology: Onshore Wind · Country: Germany · Capacity: 132 MW · Announced: 2026-05-20
Ardian Clean Energy Evergreen Fund (ACEEF), managed by Ardian, completed its first investment in Germany by acquiring a greenfield onshore wind project portfolio located in Saxony, representing a total installed capacity of 132 megawatt once constructed. The portfolio benefits from 100 percent contracted revenues for 20 years under the government-backed EEG feed-in tariff framework, providing long-term cash flow visibility and minimal exposure to wind resource and power price volatility. The first project within the portfolio, with an expected capacity of 14 megawatt, is scheduled to commence construction later in 2026. All projects are being developed in a strategic partnership with 3Energy GmbH, a Saxony-based pure-play onshore wind developer with a long-standing track record of delivering 850 megawatt of renewable projects in the German market. Ardian's infrastructure team leverages material experience in the German energy market through its longstanding partnership with EWE, one of Germany's largest energy companies, to drive value creation in the region.
