Blue Elephant Energy AG (BEE), a Hamburg-based independent operator of solar and wind power plants completed the acquisition of four construction-ready photovoltaic parks in the Netherlands with a combined capacity of 47 MW. The acquired portfolio consists of four photovoltaic parks located across the South East and East of the Netherlands.
