Vattenfall to expand UK wind presence

Article by Fiona Harvey

Vattenfall is set to buy one of the UK's biggest proposed offshore wind farms, in the latest step in its aggressive push into the British wind energy market.

In September, Vattenfall announced it would buy Eclipse Energy, a developer with a portfolio of six wind projects under development with a projected capacity of about 200MW, for £51.5m. Last month, the company bought Amec Wind Energy,  with a capacity of nearly 60MW, for £127m.

Climate Change Capital, a boutique investment bank specialising in carbon cutting projects has advised Vattenfall on its deals.
