  The Naxxar Group, formed by Romanian-capital companies and leading player in the renewable energy sector, is delighted to announce a significant milestone in its journey.   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.

These projects are not included in the deal with Polenergia. Soon, Naxxar will also unveil plans for 1 GW of photovoltaic (PV) projects, stressing its commitment to diversifying renewable energy sources. “Energy storage and even green hydrogen are in the cards as well” says Naxxar’s Gerhard Kaiser. “On top, we are also examining options to expand to Italy and Spain”.   ”The Naxxar Group started its work in January 2021. It has experienced a steep growth trajectory since then. The future projects will generate even more work for employees and local contractors, and will create a huge number of well-paid jobs.
