After a steady decline since 2023, the second half of 2025 showed a massive uptick in net capacity volume transacted.
What were some of the main movements through the second half of this year?
- The huge uptick in transacted volume is primarily due to Zephyr acquiring Statkraft’s Swedish offshore wind portfolio, however, much of this is likely not to be realized due to security concerns, as well as a handful of asset swaps among the ScotWind sites.
- Ørsted made a significant sale of 50% of Hornsea 3 to Apollo Global Management, Inc. while also divesting Salamander to finalize its move away from floating offshore wind.
- Masdar acquired 50% ownership of East Anglie Three from Iberdrola, growing their Northern European presence.
- The Kansai Electric Power co., inc. (KEPCO) acquired a major position in Simply Blue Group from Octopus Energy, providing a solid platform for the company to further its international portfolio.
