The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of next year subject to certain conditions being met, including the receipt of relevant regulatory approvals.

Falck and Falck Renewables chairman Enrico Falck said: “I am very proud of Falck Renewables’ growth and the value created for all shareholders and stakeholders under Falck’s ownership.
