Mitsubishi seals German link deals

Japanese group Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) has sealed two deals to buy into German offshore wind grid-connections, with a total investment of €576m ($765m), in a boost for the sector.

Mitsubishi has closed its agreement with transmission system operator (TSO) TenneT on the high-voltage cable projects BorWin1 and BorWin2, in which it will take a stake of 49% for €240m.

The two companies signed the initial agreement in February 2012.

TenneT and Mitsubishi also confirmed a contract for an investment in two more offshore projects, HelWin2 and DolWin2, in which the Japanese firm will also acquire a 49% interest for €336m. The companies signed a letter of intent on that second investment in March last year.
