Type: Acquisition · Technology: Offshore Wind · Country: Belgium · Announced: 2026-07-03
JERA Nex bp completed the acquisition of Sumitomo Corporation’s 30% stake in the 219 MW Northwester 2 offshore wind farm and its 39.02% interest in the 165 MW Nobelwind offshore wind farm in Belgium. The acquisition raises JERA Nex bp’s ownership to 100% of Northwester 2 and to 80.1% of Nobelwind, giving it full control of the two projects that were commissioned in 2020 and 2017 respectively.
