Berlin/Düsseldorf/Frankfurt—Global law firm Dentons has advised Qualitas Energy on a partnership with Surplus Equity Partners to build a comprehensive wind energy portfolio in Germany.

Within the framework of the cooperation, the two companies will develop wind farms with a total capacity of 200 megawatts in seven locations in Germany. The wind farms are currently in various stages of planning, with commissioning of the plants planned between 2025 and 2027. In addition to this project, Qualitas Energy currently operates more than 40 wind farms in Germany, which are currently being repowered to significantly increase wind power generation.

Qualitas Energy (formerly Q-Energy) is a global investment and management platform focusing on investments in renewable energy, energy transition and sustainability. Since 2007, Qualitas Energy has invested more than €11 billion in renewable energy projects worldwide. The company manages renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of more than 1,700 MW, including more than 800 MW of photovoltaic, 242 MW of solar thermal (CSP), 222 MW of wind energy, 63 MW of battery storage and 435 MW of biogas in Spain, Germany, the UK, Italy and Poland.

Partners Dr. Thomas Dörmer and Dr. Tim Heitling and their team specialize in transactions in the energy and infrastructure sector and have already advised the client on several transactions, most recently on the acquisition of a wind farm portfolio from MEAG in 2021. Partner Dr. Holger Ellers assisted them in leading this transaction.
Dentons provided both legal and tax advice on this transaction.
