TRIG has also acquired a 100% stake in 36MW Epine windfarm from investment company TTR Energy and German-based holding company Nordex. The windfarm is located near Reims in Northern France.

Equipped with 12 Nordex wind turbines, Epine windfarm recently commenced its operations. The Epine windfarm benefits from a 15-year inflation-linked feed-in-tariff with EDF.

TRIG notes that it acquired the Fujin portfolio with project finance in place, while it is in the process of raising project finance for Epine.

Both these investments have been financed from the TRIG’s cash resources.

Earlier this month, TRIG agreed to buy a 25% indirect equity interest in the 330MW Gode Wind 1 offshore windfarm in Germany.

Located in the German North Sea, Gode Wind 1 offshore windfarm started its operations in February 2017 and was developed and constructed by Ørsted.
