The DIF Renewable Energy Fund has closed the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with the Allianz Renewable Energy Fund for the sale of 9 operational wind projects in Germany.

On 27th November 2014, the DIF Renewable Energy and the Allianz Renewable Energy Fund agreed the sale and purchase of 9 operational onshore wind projects, with a total installed capacity of 57 MW.

The projects are located in Germany, in the federal states of Sachsen-Anhalt, Sachsen, Hessen, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The SPA was signed in the end of October 2014 and the closing of the transaction was subject to anti-trust clearance, which was received in mid-November.
