- In accordance with the collaboration agreement signed last July, Masdar has acquired a 49.99% minority stake in the share capital of EGPE Solar, the company that owns Endesa's operational photovoltaic assets in Spain, for approximately 850 million euros.
- The total value of 100% of EGPE Solar is around 1.7 billion euros.
- Endesa retains control of EGPE Solar and continues to manage its assets.
Endesa announces that Enel Green Power España S.L. (EGPE), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endesa S.A., has completed the sale of a 49.99% minority stake in the share capital of EGPE Solar1 to Masdar2, a leading clean energy company from the United Arab Emirates. EGPE Solar is an entity that owns Endesa's operational photovoltaic (PV) assets in Spain, with a total installed capacity of around 2 GW.
Under the agreement signed on July 25, 2024, Masdar is paying approximately 850 million euros for the acquisition of this stake, an amount subject to customary adjustments following the transaction's closing. The total value of 100% of EGPE Solar is around 1.7 billion euros.
The transaction is part of a long-term partnership with Masdar, which also includes 15-year power purchase agreements (PPAs). Through these agreements, Endesa, via one of its subsidiaries, is expected to acquire 100% of the energy generated by the photovoltaic assets. Additionally, the potential future hybridization of the portfolio’s battery energy storage system (BESS) is considered, which could offer up to 0.5 GW of additional capacity.
The transaction has led to a reduction in Endesa’s consolidated net debt by approximately 850 million euros in 2024. However, it does not impact the company’s financial results, as it will retain control of EGPE Solar and continue with its full consolidation.
The sale was completed following the fulfillment of the preconditions set forth in the agreement signed on July 25, 2024, including authorization from the Spanish government for foreign investments.
The transaction aligns with Enel Group’s partnership strategy, aimed at increasing financial flexibility. As a result, it retains control of operational assets in key countries where the Group maintains an integrated presence and optimizes its risk-return profile.
