Reuters first to report APG-led group to snap up German offshore wind park Merkur

Reuters was first to report that a consortium led by Dutch pension fund APG had agreed to buy German offshore wind park Merkur in a deal valuing one of Europe’s largest renewable energy projects at about 2 billion euros. The sale, led by owner Partners Group, was announced less than 24 hours after the Reuters report. Merkur is a 396 megawatt project and benefits from a 10-year operation and maintenance agreement with General Electric.
