ENCAVIS acquires 199 MW wind and solar portfolio from BayWa r.e. in Spain

Hamburg, 31 July 2025 – Encavis AG, the Hamburg-based operator of wind and solar parks has acquired a 199 MW renewable energy portfolio in Northern Spain from BayWa r.e.. The projects are located approximately 40 kilometers outside Zaragoza, in the Aragon region.

The portfolio comprises three wind farms with a combined capacity of around 142 MW, and two photovoltaic (PV) plants totaling 57 MWp. This dual-technology setup maximizes efficiency and optimises land use, while shared grid infrastructure significantly reduces connection costs.

Each wind farm features eight Nordex N163 turbines totaling 47.2 MW per site. These are currently under construction and are scheduled for grid connection between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026. The two PV plants – rated at approximately 32 MW and 25 MW – are progressing as per schedule, with grid connection planned for Q4 2025. Once operational, the portfolio is expected to generate approximately 467 GWh of clean electricity annually.

To enhance environmental sustainability, the renewable energy portfolio incorporates several biodiversity measures, including the IdentiFlight detection system. This advanced technology identifies and classifies bird species in real time and automatically adjusts turbine operations.

Dr. Daniel Gaefke, COO of BayWa r.e., comments:
"We are thrilled to once again collaborate with our trusted partner, Encavis AG, on this landmark project. Our innovative dual-technology approach represents a trailblazing model for future renewable ventures. Developing such a large-scale, co-located installation in Spain has been a complex but rewarding endeavor, and I am incredibly proud of the team’s achievements."

Mario Schirru, CEO of Encavis AG, adds:
“With our first wind project in Spain, we’re not just diversifying our technology portfolio – we’re proving our appetite for growth. This project marks a decisive move forward and clearly shows that we walk the talk: our ambitious plans are now becoming reality. We are acting fast, and this milestone is another important step in our journey to position Encavis to become the leading pan-European supplier of Renewable Energy. It’s a pleasure to realize this project together with our long-standing partner BayWa r.e.”

This acquisition underscores both companies’ commitment to advancing innovative, sustainable energy solutions and driving the energy transition across Europe.
