Energy Infrastructure Partners (EIP) and ContourGlobal have completed the sale of Slovakia’s largest solar energy portfolio to Central and Eastern European renewable power producer Enery, the companies said on Monday.
The portfolio includes 32 operational solar sites with a total installed capacity of 34.6 megawatts (MW), located across Slovakia.
EIP, which held a 49% stake on behalf of its clients, and ContourGlobal, which owned 51%, said the divestment followed a “successful value-creation campaign” that included adapting to regulatory changes and optimising operations. The companies said the initiative improved asset performance amid evolving Slovak feed-in tariff and grid-access frameworks.
Zurich-based EIP said the sale was consistent with its strategy of investing in assets that advance decarbonisation, digitalisation and energy security.
“This transaction demonstrates our commitment to value creation through active asset management and supports our broader focus on Europe’s energy transition,” EIP said in a statement.
ContourGlobal, part of KKR’s portfolio with more than 5.5 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity worldwide, said the sale aligns with its increasing emphasis on renewable energy.
“This divestment reflects our strategic focus on expanding our renewable generation portfolio while continuing to optimise our global asset base,” the company said.
Enery said it would continue to operate and develop the solar assets to support Slovakia’s shift toward cleaner energy sources.
The acquisition strengthens Enery’s presence in Central Europe, where it is investing in new solar and wind capacity as part of the region’s broader decarbonisation goals.
