TRINITI advises Utilitas Wind on 33 wind turbines acquisition in Latvia

TRINITI provided M&A transaction and legal support to Estonian energy company Utilitas Wind, which acquired Grobiņa wind farm in Latvia in March 2022. The wind farm consists of 33 Enercon wind turbines with a total capacity of 19.8 MW. In the course of the transaction, shares in 12 companies were acquired.

Utilitas Wind plans to continue operating and repowering wind turbines and expand its renewable energy portfolio in Latvia.

Triniti is pleased to assist in achieving the EU climate neutrality targets in respect of proportion of renewable energy produced in Latvia.
