Merger to turbocharge Electrawinds' expansion plans

The international expansion plans of Electrawinds have received a massive shot in the arm after the Belgian developer agreed to merge with European CleanTech 1 SE (ECT), a special-purpose acquisition vehicle (SPAC) listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Under the complicated transaction, the shareholders of privately-owned Electrawinds will receive €14.6m ($19.2m) in cash and up to 39.9 million shares of ECT, with the new company to be named Electrawinds SE.
