Yesterday evening, CEZ Group and Continental Wind Partners LLC (CWP) concluded the sale of CWP’s adjacent Fantanele and Cogealac wind farms in Romania. The two projects will be the largest onshore wind farm in Europe with a total capacity of 600 megawatts.
Þuca Zbârcea & Asociaþii fielded a team of 10 lawyers led by Sorin Vlãdescu, Partner. The team also included Irina Moinescu, Managing Associate and Mihaela Alexandrescu, Senior Associate.
„It was a very interesting transaction, especially considering it is the first acquisition project of this kind in Romania. For the past 4 months, we have assisted CEZ in connection with all legal matters entailed by the acquisition procedure, and we shall continue to advise CEZ on the post-closing matters and development of the project”, said Sorin Vlãdescu.
The total investment of CEZ Group into the project will reach EUR 1.1 billion. The wind farm will represent almost 30% of the renewable market in Romania (including large hydro) when it becomes fully operational.
