Adani Green Energy, which plans to buy SoftBank Group's renewable energy assets in India, points to a new round of consolidation in the sector, which has drawn interest from private equity investors and top energy companies in recent years.
In a May stock exchange filing, the renewable energy company led by billionaire Gautam Adani said it would buy SB Energy Holdings for an enterprise value of $3.5 billion. Adani is buying SoftBank Group Capital's 80% stake in SB Energy, and the remaining 20% held by Bharti Global in a cash deal.
With the acquisition, Adani Green Energy will gain control of SB Energy Holding's nearly 5 GW of renewable energy assets, including 1.4 GW of operational projects. The rest are under construction. SB Energy Holding's green energy portfolio is 84% solar, 9% wind-solar hybrid and 7% wind projects. All come with 25-year power purchase agreements.
