RWE AG said Norway’s sovereign wealth fund will acquire a 49% stake in two North Sea wind projects as the German energy company seeks to reduce exposure to risky renewables investments.
Norges Bank Investment Management will buy into RWE’s Nordseecluster and Thor projects for about €1.4 billion ($1.5 billion), according to a statement. The transaction is subject to customary approvals and is expected to be completed by the beginning of the third quarter.
