Obton sells 42 solar PV projects (45 MWp) to Dutch energy transition company Groendus

After conducting a competitive divestment process, Obton sells on behalf of its investors 42 rooftop and land-based solar PV projects to Dutch energy transition company Groendus.

The projects have a total capacity of around 45 MWp and are primarily located on the roofs of commercial & industrial buildings, geographically spread throughout the Netherlands. The projects have been developed and constructed over the period 2018 – 2023 and are subject to the Dutch SDE support mechanism.

Obton A/S, headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark, is one of the leading clean energy companies in Europe, with an 2,1 GW under management, representing an asset value of around EUR 4 billion and employing 260 people.

Sandra Grauers Nilsson, CEO of Obton comments: “We are pleased to have successfully completed the transaction with Groendus. The process has been marked by a strong spirit of collaboration and professionalism, and we’re happy to see the portfolio transition into capable hands.”

Erik van der Ende, CEO of Kenter Groendus Group comments: "With this transaction, we are expanding our portfolio of rooftop solar projects in the Netherlands. By combining renewable energy generation with asset optimization and gradually integrating smart energy management, we are enhancing our ability to make clean energy more accessible and reliable for everyone. At the same time, this expansion strengthens our relationships with key partners to whom we already provide energy transition services or aim to do so in the future.”

Obton was advised on the transaction by Voltiq (financial) and Dirkzwager (legal).
