Aussie financial services giant Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX:MQG) could be looking to sell its 25% interest in the 573-MW Race Bank offshore wind farm off Britain’s Norfolk coast, according to a Reuters report on Friday.
The news agency quoted two sources with knowledge of the matter, one of whom has said Macquarie and its advisors are working on a deal that could value the entire wind park at up to GBP 3 billion (USD 3.65bn/EUR 3.47bn).
Race Bank’s other shareholders are Denmark’s Ørsted A/S, Sumitomo Corporation, and Arjun Infrastructure Partners.
Earlier this year, Macquarie Asset Management agreed to sell stakes in eight other UK offshore wind farms totalling 2.4 GW to investment manager Equitix.
