We have advised the shareholders of Wind2, a UK-based renewable energy developer specialising in onshore renewable energy projects, on its acquisition by Canadian renewable energy producer, Boralex.

Founded in 2016, Wind2 develops onshore wind projects, solar farms, and energy parks across Scotland, Wales, and England. Boralex acquires a high-quality development platform of approximately 350 MW of well-advanced wind projects. It also integrates the Wind2 teams across its two UK offices, significantly expanding Boralex’s UK workforce and development capabilities.

The acquisition highlights a growing macro trend across the UK renewables landscape, where international operators are consolidating high-quality regional development platforms to secure mature onshore pipelines essential for achieving the UK’s ambitious net-zero and energy security goals.

The Burges Salmon team advising the shareholders of Wind2 was led by Corporate partner Jonathan Eves and director Bethan Penrhyn-Jones, with support from associate George Robinson. Euan Bremner and Sarah Stewart led on the Real Estate aspects of the transaction, with additional support provided by our Projects, Planning and Tax teams for the shareholders of Wind2 throughout the process.

“It was a pleasure to support and advise the Wind2 team on this milestone transaction. This acquisition represents a major step forward for the UK’s onshore renewable sector. The strength of Wind2’s portfolio, combined with Boralex’s operational scale, creates a powerful platform to accelerate the delivery of vital green energy infrastructure across the country.”
