MET Group Acquires 42 MW Operational Wind Farm in Bulgaria from Enel Green Power
/28th December 2020, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ The Swiss-based MET Renewables Holding AG has notified the Commission for Protection of Competition in Bulgaria of its intention to acquire sole direct control over Enel Green Power Bulgaria EAD. The parent company is a subsidiary of the Italian Enel Green Power, which is part of the Enel Group and its activities are related to the management of 42 MW wind farm consisting of two sites with a total number of 14 wind turbines, all in Northeastern Bulgaria. The buyer, MET Renewables Holding AG is a new company, but it is backed by the Swiss group MET, with direct owner MET Holding AG. However, it has been operating in Bulgaria since 2017 through its subsidiary MET Energy Trading Bulgaria. It is active in the electricity trading market at freely negotiated prices.
Bulgaria offers good potential for construction of wind farms, more specifically along the coastal line, at large open space terrains, and places with an altitude of 500 meters or more. Future development in suitable mountainous areas or at locations with slower wind velocities depends on implementing new technical solutions.
There are 119 weather stations in Bulgaria, which register wind velocity and direction. Historical data for more than 30 years is available. More than 65 wind measurement masts with a height between 50 m.a.g.l. and 120 m.a.g.l. have been installed in Bulgaria between 2003 and 2019.
