Renewable Energy Holdings (REH) plc, an investor and operator of renewable energy technologies, has bought an 8MW wind farm in Kirf, Germany from enXco.

The deal was worth €10.5 million (£7.3 million). REH was advised by Standard Chartered Bank (SCB), and the acquisition was also part-funded by debt arranged by SCB.

SCB’s team was led by its global head of renewable energy Shane Bush, who said the bank has had a relationship with REH since 2004.

“The Kirf wind project acquisition is part of a €135 million financing facility provided by SCB to REH to develop further wind projects within Europe,” he added. “REH is a young company with a good asset base. This is an ideal platform for growth, but they should consider the fierce competition for assets in Europe.”
