Additional wind farm investments for BayernLB's special banking fund

Neubiberg/Munich, December 18, 2023 – Encavis Asset Management AG (Encavis AM), a leading provider of sustainable energy investments for institutional investors and a subsidiary of the MDAX-listed wind and solar park operator Encavis AG, has acquired two further wind parks with a total capacity of 18 megawatts from the UKA Group for the Encavis Infrastructure Fund IV (EIF IV).

The two wind farms consist of a total of three wind turbines. Two Vestas V162 - 6.0 MW turbines are located in the Brandenburg municipality of Lebus and have been in operation since November 2022 and April 2023 respectively. The third Vestas V162 - 6.0 MW wind turbine is also located in Brandenburg (Lindendorf) and has been producing green electricity since June of this year. Together, both wind farms supply around 21,200 households with electricity and save over 20,500 tonnes of CO₂ annually.

Karsten Mieth, Spokesman of the Management Board of Encavis Asset Management AG: "We are very pleased to continue our long-standing and trusting cooperation with the UKA Group. The acquisition of these wind farms marks another important milestone in our cooperation and underlines our expertise in the field of sustainable energy investments."

Encavis Asset Management AG is responsible for the structuring of the entire project and will take over the commercial management, energy management, accounting and controlling of the wind farm.

"Encavis' investment in further UKA wind farms marks the successful completion of the project phase for us and is also a sign of the trust of the industry and the quality of our wind farms," comments Stefan Kath, Managing Director and Head of Operations at UKA.

UKB Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen Betriebsführung GmbH oversees the technical management.

The EIF IV is offered exclusively by BayernLB. It is set-up exclusively for credit institutions, above all savings banks and cooperative banks, which attach great importance to stable cash flows for their investments and bank-specific key figures for their reporting.
