Cerberus buys two wind farms in Catalonia
The US group Cerberus has acquired two wind farms located in the regions of Anoia and Segarra, with a combined capacity of 70 megawatts. The farms belonged to the Civis Corporationwith businesses in construction and energy, among other sectors.
According to sources close to the operation, the sale of the two wind farms has been favoured by the great interest shown by foreign funds in investing in Spain. In addition, in the renewable energy sector, once the new legal framework has been clarified, a great deal of activity has been unleashed in the sale and purchase of facilities, with the downward revision of premiums for wind and photovoltaic.
It seems that following this operation, Cerberus could be preparing to acquire other parks in the rest of Spain.
"Cerberus, which has its headquarters in New York, has already carried out operations in Barcelona, the last of which was the acquisition in February of the debt collection company Gescobro, which was owned 90% by the private equity firm Miura," says Diego Gutierrez of Abra-invest.
