Ellomay Capital Ltd.  –  an emerging operator in the renewable energy and energy infrastructure sector, today announced its entry into a binding Letter of Intent for the purchase of 3 photovoltaic (solar) plants with approximately 5.6MWp (with nominal output of approximately 5.2MWn) in the aggregate (the “PV Plants“). The PV Plants are ground mounted fixed technology plants and are located in Murcia, Spain. The PV Plants are already constructed and operating and were connected to the Spanish national grid in 2011.

The PV Plants are held by a Spanish company (the “Seller“) whose German parent company has entered into insolvency proceedings. According to the Letter of Intent, the PV Plants and all associated assets and rights shall be purchased by Ellomay for an aggregate purchase price of Euro 9.5 million (approximately US$13 million), subject to certain purchase price adjustments (the “Purchase Price“).

The Letter of Intent provides for a 30 days exclusivity period for the finalization and execution of definitive agreements. Execution and closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or about the end of June, 2014.

The acquisition of the PV Sites is expected to more than triple the current production capacity of Ellomay’s existing photovoltaic sites in Spain to approximately 7.9MWp. The PV Plants will join the Company’s thirteen existing photovoltaic sites in Italy andSpain increasing their aggregate capacity to more than 30MWp . The Company expects that the annual revenue from the PV Plants will be approximately Euro 2 million (approximately US$ 2.7 million), and together with the Company’s entire PV portfolio the annual revenue will be approximately Euro 13.2 million (approximately US$18 million).
