Analysis of the Week: Deals for solar and wind assets in Europe’s emerging markets rise by 86% since 2020

published on 20 May 2023

Development assets emerged as the primary acquisition targets in the Nordic, Baltic, and Balkan regions in 2022, dominated by sub-250 MW range assets/portfolios. Sweden dominated the Nordic region with a 158% rise in deal activity during 2020-2022, primarily due to stable electricity prices owing to a higher share of hydropower in the domestic power mix, which increased investors' appetite for projects with quasi-merchant revenue. Meanwhile, rising demand for clean power amid the Russia-Ukraine crisis and supportive national policies are fueling transaction activity in countries such as Poland and Romania.
