International legal practice, Osborne Clarke has advised CHORUS Clean Energy AG on the purchase of a wind farm in Hürth near Cologne. The wind farm includes three wind turbines with an overall capacity of 8.55 megawatts. The seller is the project developer Energiekontor in Bremen. The wind turbines already have been commissioned and are expected to produce 17.5 million kilowatts a year. Through the acquisition CHORUS increases its renewable portfolio to a total of 335 megawatts. The group operates 76 solar and wind farms in five European countries.

The Osborne Clarke team that advised on the acquisition was led by Dr Alexander Dlouhy (M&A, energy law) and Dr. Isabella Niklas (M&A, Renewable Energies) who were supported by Dr Daniel Breuer (energy law, project management), Dr Thomas Lindner (project agreements, permits), Janos Mahlo (property law), and Annette Simon (corporate law).

The firm advises CHORUS on wind farm acquisitions on a regular basis, most recently on the acquisition of the wind farms Appeln and Blaues Eck.
