Seagreen, the world's deepest fixed-bottom wind farm, boasts a total capacity of 1,075 MW. Its 114 turbines generate enough electricity to power over 1.6 million homes in Scotland, making a significant contribution to the country's energy needs. This transaction implies an enterprise value of $4.3 billion (100%), equivalent to a multiple of 13 times the expected average EBITDA over the next 5 years, depending on future market prices.
