With the completion of the deal, the consortium intends to expand Eneco internationally while it becomes the European base for Mitsubishi’s energy activities.

Mitsubishi noted that it will transfer 400MW of its offshore wind capabilities to Eneco.

The company will also make use of Eneco’s technological strengths to accelerate its own renewable developments in Europe and around the world.

Furthermore, the acquisition will help Mitsubishi in minimising greenhouse emissions, while generating economic, societal and environmental value through its businesses.

On the other hand, Chubu aims to take advantage of Eneco’s expertise in the energy sector and is aiming to create a mutually beneficial business-model evolution to create synergies in its energy operations, in Japan as well as across the globe.

Mitsubishi said that Eneco will continue to be based in Rotterdam.
