FP Lux Group ("FP Lux") adds a photovoltaic project in Spain to the portfolio of its renewable energy fund RE Infrastructure Opportunities. The solar park with a capacity of around 15 MWp is located in the municipality of Aldeamayor de San Martin (Valladolid) in the Castilla y León region. The internationally active asset manager re:cap global investors ag, based in Zug (Switzerland), accompanied the transaction for FP Lux. The seller of the park is the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Fund II (REIF II) advised by Goodyields Capital Group ("Goodyields"). Frankfurt-based consulting firm Capcora acted as M&A advisor on the side of Goodyields in this transaction.

Commenting on the acquisition, Thomas Seibel, Managing Director of re:cap said, "We are pleased to make our second investment for the RE Instrastructure Opportunities Fund in Spain. After a large addition in the past years, there are now attractive investment opportunities in the secondary market. The acquired solar park in Spain is a good example of this. The project fits very well with our strategy of promoting renewable energy and creating sustainable investment opportunities for institutional investors."

The park in Valladolid already went online in December 2020 and has a short-term power purchase agreement (PPA) on attractive terms. In total, it will be able to supply 6,400 households with renewable energy, saving around 14,200 tons of CO2 per year. FP Lux is acquiring the project from Renewable Energy Infrastructure Fund II (REIF II), which built and operates the park and is advised by Goodyields CapitalChristian Auer, Partner and Head of Investments at Goodyields, says: "The sale of the solar park underlines our successful strategy to generate value through targeted market risk and optimization of the construction and initial operation phases."

We are proud to have been able to contribute to this successful closing and are pleased to continue our partnership with Goodyields, REIF II as well as re:cap and FP Lux."

With the acquisition of the solar farm, re:cap expands the RE Infrastructure Opportunities fund's existing portfolio to 16 projects in 30 locations in seven countries. In total, the plants reach a total capacity of over 400 MWp. The fund was designed specifically for institutional investors and successfully completed its final closing at the beginning of 2023 with a subscription volume of 290 million euros. With the FP Lux Energy Transition Fund, re:cap already has a successor fund in preparation. A first closing is planned for late summer 2023.
