Cologne – The Dutch energy group Eneco has purchased the North German green energy direct marketer Nordgröön. Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft provided comprehensive legal and tax advice for the transaction. Eneco has been a client of Luther for many years: among other things, the law firm advised Eneco in 2017/2018 on the acquisition of the green power provider Lichtblick. In 2019, the group subsidiary Eneco eMobility acquired the German chargeIT mobility GmbH with Luther's support. Most recently, Luther also supported Eneco Ventures in its investment in Installion GmbH, a provider of services in the PV market.
Eneco is again investing in the German market with the acquisition of Nordgröön from Agder Energi, strengthening its energy management activities in Germany. For Eneco, the German market for direct marketing of renewable energy and virtual power plants plays an essential role in becoming a leading player in the energy management market segment. The acquisition of Nordgröön with its network and customer base provides a good basis for this.
The acquisition is still subject to regulatory approvals.
