Executive summary: Galp agreed to buy 15 wind farms totaling 361 MW from Acciona Energía for €420 million, gaining about 800 GWh of annual renewable electricity output. The deal increases Galp’s renewable generation capacity in the Iberian Peninsula, supporting its strategy to grow low‑carbon power assets and enhancing its competitiveness in the regional electricity market.
Who is involved: Galp (buyer), Acciona Energía (seller); the assets comprise 15 wind farms located across Spain and Portugal.
Likely next: Pending regulatory approval, the closing is expected in the second half of 2026, after which Galp will integrate the wind assets and Acciona Energía will use the proceeds for debt reduction or other strategic purposes.
