RWE’s divestment transfers an onshore wind development pipeline of 1.8 GW, 11 onshore operational farms totalling 124 MW and the 48 MW Karehamn nearshore wind farm to Aneo. (rwe.com) Aneo says the acquired operational portfolio produces roughly 500 GWh per year, with generation concentrated primarily in the Swedish price area SE4. (aneo.com) The transaction explicitly includes parts of RWE’s third‑party onshore service business and the development, operations and offshore teams directly assigned to the transferred projects. (rwe.com) Both parties confirmed the deal price will not be disclosed and signalled an expected closing in the first quarter of 2026 subject to customary approvals. (rwe.com) RWE framed the sale as part of its strategy to focus capital on dynamic markets offering attractive large‑scale renewables growth while rotating capital from certain regional portfolios. (rwe.com) The acquisition complements Aneo’s recent consolidation in Sweden, following a recommended cash takeover of Arise AB that left Aneo BidCo owning roughly 97% of Arise after the offer acceptance period. (cirio.se) Aneo is a Nordic renewables platform jointly owned by TrønderEnergi and private equity firm HitecVision, a 50/50 backing that underpins its rapid M&A expansion across Swedish wind development and operations.
