Equitix this week announced the acquisition of Ventus Investments: a portfolio of onshore wind farms in the UK.

The portfolio comprises four operational wind farms in England and Wales; Crook Hill wind farm near Manchester; Reaps Moss in Lancashire; and Pant y Wal and Mynydd Bwllfa, both in Wales.  With an aggregate gross capacity of 122.5 MW via 44 turbines, these assets have the capacity to offer significant CO2 emissions reduction and the potential to power over 67,000 UK homes a year.

With approximately 12.2 GW of total renewable energy generation capacity across its wider platform, Equitix is a major renewable power investor. This acquisition further asserts it’s continued commitment to supporting the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

The wind portfolio is comprised of high-quality onshore wind farms, expected to generate stable, long-term cash flows.

Achal Bhuwania, Equitix CIO said:
“We are delighted to have acquired another UK onshore wind portfolio. Investing in renewable power is not just a commitment to sustainable growth but also a strategic decision to build long-term value and align financial success with social responsibility. Our team’s consistent drive for seeking out latent deal flow is evidenced by the volume and quality of the transactions witnessed this month alone; offering consistent, stable returns to our investors.”

Equitix was advised by IDCM (financial), Linklaters (legal), Everoze and DNV (technical), Deloitte (accounting and tax) and Howden (insurance).
