据离岸工程网站9月26日消息 欧盟委员会已批准Sage Holdings收购Ocean Breeze Energy GmbH & Co. KG,最终由麦格理集团有限公司间接控股。
Ocean Breeze能源是意大利联合信贷银行北海风电场BARD Offshore 1的所有者。这座400兆瓦的海上风电场位于德国西北部海岸100公里处。
欧盟委员会宣布,根据欧盟的合并条例,拟议的收购不会引起竞争担忧,因为两家公司在同一市场或垂直相关市场上并不活跃。
该项目由分布在59平方公里的80台5兆瓦风力涡轮机组成,利用强大的北海风,每年为约46.3万户家庭提供清洁电力。
BARD Offshore 1在2013年投入运营时是德国第一个商业规模的海上风电场。经过最初几年的运营,该项目被评为德国最具生产力的海上风电场。

Macquarie Acquisition of German Offshore Wind Approved
The European Commission has approved the acquisition of Ocean Breeze Energy GmbH & Co. KG by Sage Holdings, ultimately indirectly controlled by Macquarie Group Limited.
Ocean Breeze Energy is the owner of North Sea wind farm BARD Offshore 1, from Unicredit. The 400MW offshore wind farm is positioned 100 kilometres off the coast of northwestern Germany.
Under the EU Merger Regulation, the proposed acquisition would raise no competition concerns as the companies are not active on the same or vertically related markets, announced European Commission.
Comprised of 80 5MW wind turbines spread over 59 square kilometres, the project harnesses powerful North Sea winds to supply the equivalent of approximately 463,000 households with clean electricity each year.
BARD Offshore 1 was Germany’s first commercial scale offshore wind farm when it entered operation in 2013. Following its initial years of operation, the project was named Germany’s most productive offshore wind farm.
