Naxxar Renewable Energy Management Holding has entered into a conditional agreement with Polenergia, the largest Polish private energy group, for the sale of a substantial 60% stake in development vehicle of the NX4 Wind Farm, one of the largest onshore wind energy projects in Romania and, by extension, also in Europe. NX4 assumes the construction of wind farms with a total capacity of up to 685.6 MW, located in the Tulcea County, Dobrogea region, by the Black Sea. It is one of the windiest areas in Romania, with average wind speeds exceeding 8 meters per second. ”We are extremely proud that we convinced the most prominent private energy group in Poland, Polenergia, of the viability of our projects. Romania has a lot of unused resources and an enormous potential for renewables, and we are convinced it would reach quickly is target assumed with the European Union, according to Green Deal and its following commitments,” said Gerhard Kaiser, Founder and CEO of Naxxar Renewable Energy. Naxxar would like to thank once more Alessandro Albrighi, founder and CEO of AD Capital Partners, who played a pivotal role in mediating the transaction and provided invaluable strategic advisory services on the seller's side. The contribution of the Naxxar team members including Dana Casandra, Naxxar's Chief of Legal Department and Septimiu Iusan, Project Manager, has been instrumental in ensuring a smooth transaction process.
