Hamburg, 9 December 2015 - Capital Stage, the SDAX-listed solar and wind park operator based in Hamburg, further expands its British solar park portfolio by acquiring another solar park in the UK with a generating capacity of around 5 MW. Therewith the share of the British portfolio as part of the total generating capacity of 554 MW of Capital Stage increases to 13 per cent. The total investment volume including planned debt project financing amounts to about GBP 6.1 million (approx. EUR 8.4m). The PV park has been sold by the project developer and general contractor Gamma Energy Ltd., of which Capital Stage did already acquire a solar park of 5 MW in November 2015.

The newly acquired solar park is located in the north-west of England. After entering operations the park will profit from a public guaranteed feed-in tariff for a period of 20 years. The applicable feed-in tariff amounts to GBP 0.1101/kWh (EUR 0.1527 kWh) and is linked to the retail price index. Grid connection for the park is scheduled for December 2015. Capital Stage expects the new British solar park to make revenue contributions of approximately 600 TGBP (approx. TEUR 830) from the first year of full operation onwards.

The new British PV park - as well as the one acquired in November 2015 - has been financed on an all-equity basis. A refinancing within a classic project financing structure is planned and Capital Stage has already entered very promising negotiations with long-standing and trusted financing partners.

The British solar park has again been sold to Capital Stage AG by the project developer and general contractor Gamma Energy Ltd., a 100% subsidiary of the Spanish Sferaone Solutions & Services S.L. Gamma Energy is specialised in renewable energies. Already in early November 2015 Capital Stage did acquire a solar park with a generating capacity of 5 MW from Gamma Energy. Capital Stage continues to review other attractive projects of Gamma Energy in the UK.
