DWS acquires Maaselänkangas onshore wind farm in Finland

DWS, through its DWS Infrastructure Europe fund, has acquired the 41.3 MW Maaselänkangas onshore wind farm in Finland from German developer wpd Group. This acquisition aligns with DWS's stated investment strategy of delivering long-term, stable returns, as the wind farm has been operational since September 2024. The deal represents a direct investment into a revenue-generating renewable energy asset, comprising seven Nordex wind turbines, reinforcing DWS's focus on de-risked infrastructure investments. The transaction is notable for several reasons. It involves a prominent global asset manager, DWS, acquiring a fully operational asset from an experienced developer, wpd Group, indicating a preference for established, income-generating infrastructure. While the deal value remains undisclosed, the acquisition of a 41.3 MW onshore wind farm in Finland underscores the continued attractiveness of the Nordic region for renewable energy infrastructure investments, particularly for assets that are already generating power and providing predictable cash flows. This move further solidifies DWS's presence in the European renewable energy market.
