1.1GW offshore wind stake shifts to EDF
RWE trims exposure, EDF expands UK portfolio
RWE sells 33.33% stake in Five Estuaries offshore wind project to EDF Power Solutions UK and Ireland
RWE is exiting a third of the Five Estuaries project, confirming a strategic shift toward lower-risk assets while retaining partnership with Sumitomo and ESB. EDF Power Solutions UK and Ireland gains a sizable development position, accelerating its build-out in the UK market and strengthening its pipeline ahead of upcoming auctions. The move could support RWE’s share performance on XETRA: RWE as it reallocates capital.
