Wind Power
New partners for HelveticWindThe Elektra Baselland Cooperative (EBL), EKZ Renewables AG - a subsidiary of the electrical utilities of the canton of Zurich (EKZ) - and SN Erneuerbare Energie AG (SNEE) have become partners in the HelveticWind joint venture. The partnership was founded in March 2010 by Energie Wasser Bern and BKW Inc. with the aim of building up a wind power portfolio with a capacity of 170 Megawatts (MW) over the next few years. The joint venture already owns two wind farms with an installed capacity of 37 MW.
The share ratio of the joint venture, in which the initial
owners held an equal stake, has been adjusted with the
addition of new partners. With immediate effect, the
founding partners Energie Wasser Bern and BKW will each
hold a 29% share in the company, EKZ slightly more than
20%, and EBL and SNEE just short of 11% each. The partners
aim to drive forward the use of wind power and realise
projects with a collective capacity of 170 MW over the next
few years. The activities will initially focus on Germany
and Italy.
The cooperation is of major importance for all partners. It
consolidates BKW's position in the wind power area,
while Energie Wasser Bern, EBL, EKZ and SNEE can scale up
their activities in the renewable energies area and further
expand the relevant production capacities.
The partners already own two wind farms - in Sendenhorst
(North Rhine-Westphalia) and in Lüdersdorf-Parstein
(Brandenburg) - with a collective capacity of 37 MW. The
plants together produce 83 Gigawatt hours of electricity
during around 2,000 full-load hours: equivalent to the
annual electricity consumption of around 22,000
households.
The new partnerships in HelveticWind require the approval
of the responsible anti-trust authority. The parties have
agreed not to disclose the cost of their shareholdings.
