Baker Mckenzie advises Capital Dynamics on PV acquisition

Baker McKenzie has acted as legal counsel to Capital Dynamics on the acquisition of Puerto Real 1 Solar Project in Cádiz

Capital Dynamics, an independent global private asset management firm, announced that its Clean Energy Infrastructure business completed the acquisition of a 100% stake in the 133 MW Puerto Real 1 project from WElink Group, a leading global developer of renewable energy solutions. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Puerto Real 1 is the company´s second acquisition in Iberia and is expected to be one of the largest utility-scale solar PV facilities in Spain upon achieving commercial operations in the first quarter of 2021. The subsidy-free project, located in the town of Puerto Real (Cadiz province) in Southern Spain, has a long-term power offtake agreement. Once operational, Capital Dynamics will manage over 430 MW of subsidy-free solar projects in Spain.

“Spain remains an attractive market for new renewable power generation as the country has one of the highest solar resources in Europe and a favourable operating environment with low development costs,” said Simon Eaves, managing director and head of Capital Dynamics’ European Clean Energy Infrastructure team.
