International law firm Simmons & Simmons has successfully advised Paris-based investment management company RGREEN INVEST with a senior bridge financing for independent renewable energy producer NEAG to support the construction of two new onshore wind farms in Germany, with a combined installed capacity of 44 MW.
The two projects, located in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Saxony-Anhalt, will be equipped with the latest generation of wind turbines supplied by German manufacturer ENO Energy.
Both sites benefit from long-term feed-in tariffs awarded under Germany’s Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) and will be operated under 20-year full-service agreements.
This tailored financing solution enables NEAG to initiate construction while securing key industrial components in a market shaped by evolving regulatory frameworks. The upcoming Net Zero Industry Act, which is expected to introduce minimum local content requirements in renewable energy auctions across the EU, further reinforces the relevance of projects anchored in the European industrial ecosystem.
This transaction reflects RGREEN INVEST's broader strategy to accelerate the decarbonisation of energy systems by supporting locally developed infrastructure based on European technologies. It also illustrates the firm’s capacity to design flexible financing solutions tailored to the specific needs of independent.
The deal was led by Dr Jens Gölz, who heads the energy, natural resources, and infrastructure (ENRI) team at Simmons & Simmons in Germany. He commented on the deal as follow, “This transaction showcases our ability to structure innovative financing solutions that align with both investor expectations and regulatory developments. We are proud to support RGREEN INVEST and NEAG in advancing Germany’s energy transition through high-impact, locally anchored wind projects.”.
