Augusta & Co advises NeXtWind on the acquisition of a German onshore wind portfolio with over 300MW

Augusta & Co is pleased to have advised NeXtWind on the acquisition of a 141MW German onshore wind portfolio, with significant repowering potential. Augusta acted as the exclusive buy-side financial adviser to NeXtWind, a Berlin-based investor backed by Sandbrook Capital, PSP Investments and The Investment Management Corporation of Ontario (IMCO).

This operational portfolio consists of twelve wind farms with over 70 turbines spread across four states in Germany. The portfolio offers substantial potential for repowering, which will increase the portfolio’s energy output and efficiency, aligning with Germany’s renewable energy goals.

This transaction marks the progression of NeXtWind’s growth strategy as the company’s largest acquisition to date and builds on the acquisition of Project Stein (112.5MW German onshore wind portfolio repowering to 300MW+, acquired from Qualitas Energy in 2024), where Augusta & Co acted on the sell-side. Germany remains a core market for Augusta & Co and this transaction represents the next in a series of onshore wind repowering transactions Augusta has completed.

Lars Meyer, Co-CEO at NeXtWind commented: “Augusta & Co provided us with exceptional support in this transaction. They are a true market leader in German onshore wind and the hard work of their skilled and professional team, from Partner down to every Analyst, was essential in securing this portfolio for NeXtWind.”

Harry Gibson, Partner at Augusta commented: “This transaction is Augusta’s second with NeXtWind and, builds on the previous success of Project Stein. It has been a great pleasure to work with NeXtWind’s talented team and to assist them in acquiring this portfolio, which we know well, having advised on the sell-side in its previous sale to Nadara’s predecessor company Ventient in 2019.”
