Completion of Cloghan Wind Farm acquisition

Transaction brings total installed capacity to 1,265MW

Dublin, London, 16 May 2023: Greencoat Renewables PLC ("Greencoat Renewables") announces it has completed the acquisition of the 37.8MW Cloghan Wind Farm ("Cloghan"), located in County Offaly, Ireland.

Cloghan was acquired in December 2020 under a forward sale commitment from Statkraft, who managed the construction of the wind farm and who will continue to provide trading and operational management services. The wind farm benefits from a 15-year fixed price contract, secured under the RESS 1 auction, until 2037.

Greencoat Renewables' total borrowings are now c. 47% of Gross Asset Value.

Paul O'Donnell, Investment Manager said:

"We are pleased to complete the acquisition of this long-term asset and further strengthen Greencoat Renewables' market position in the Irish wind sector, which benefits from strong contracted cash flows and where we continue to see opportunities in onshore wind. We are also delighted to partner with Statkraft once again and to deliver additional capacity through our flexible forward sale model."
