Norton Rose Fulbright has advised funds managed by Hermes GPE Infrastructure (Hermes GPE) on the acquisition of a majority stake in a wind farm in Scotland from EDF Energy and EDF Energies Nouvelles.

Fallago Rig is a 144MW, 48 Vestas turbine onshore wind farm located 35km southeast of Edinburgh in the Scottish Borders region of Southern Scotland. The wind farm is the fifth largest onshore wind farm in the UK and is a significant part of the UK’s electricity generation infrastructure.

Teams led by Stephen Rigby and Andrew Hedges advised on the acquisition. Keith Law, Suncica Miletic and Nari Armaly formed the core team of associates who assisted.

Norton Rose Fulbright’s work follows on from advising funds managed by Hermes GPE in May 2013 on the acquisition of a 50% stake in the 72MW Braes of Doune wind farm in Stirlingshire, Scotland from Centrica.
