Clearwater International advises enercity on structuring a syndicated bridge loan facility

Clearwater International has advised enercity Aktiengesellschaft (enercity) on the structuring and arrangement of a syndicated bridge loan facility. The proceeds will be used for the acquisition of a wind park portfolio, located in Germany.

The portfolio consists of 60 onshore wind farms with an output capacity of 365 MW, which is sufficient to supply electricity to around 270,000 households. This acquisition will further emphasise enercity’s ambitious energy transition targets, marking a landmark transaction in its corporate history. It will place the company as the third largest player in the field of onshore wind capacity in Germany.
