Octopus Energy Generation has invested €584m in wind farms in France, Germany and Poland, marking a major Europe-wide push into the wind energy market, acquiring 321MW onshore wind farms across 17 sites.

Octopus now manages over 400 large-scale renewables projects across the globe, and now manages 67 onshore wind farms in Europe, including the UK, France, Germany, Poland, Ireland, Sweden and Finland.

Zoisa North-Bond, CEO at Octopus Energy Generation, said: “Europe has one of the greatest wind resources in the world. With major ambitions to build more wind farms, we’re still only scratching the surface of what’s possible. We now need to move even faster if we’re going to unlock untapped wind power potential and meet Europe’s clean energy needs.”
