Luxcara managing partner Dr Alexandra von Bernstorff said: “Opening the Egersund wind farm on schedule demonstrates how important it is to us to respect the needs of the various stakeholders.
“It is eminently important to us that our financial commitment achieves a positive social and ecological effect. We would be pleased to partner with Norwegian institutional investors as well when we invest in renewable energy and infrastructure in the future.”
In December 2015, Luxcara acquired Egersund wind farm with an objective to create a renewable-energy portfolio for institutional investors. At that time, it was still in the development stage.
The investor pool comprises institutionals, which aim to achieve a reliable return with clean technologies, and thus with renewable energy.
