Hamburg, 23 October 2020: Connected Infrastructure Capital GmbH (CIC) acquired 100% of the shares of a wind farm company in Noord-Holland. The Hamburg-based company is thus following its growth course and expands its wind portfolio in the European market.

The wind onshore project near the Ijsselmeer in the north-east of the province of Noord-Holland is part of the wind farm Wieringermeer. The wind farm consists of two parts: The existing wind farm with 8 Vestas V126 wind turbines and a total capacity of 30.4 MW became operational in 2019. The second part consists of a total of 9 prototype sites with a fully developed infrastructure and a total capacity of about 35 MW, which are leased to manufacturers to test their prototypes in order to obtain type certificates.
