BBH ADVISES O.Y. NOFAR ENERGY LTD. (ISRAEL) ON ENTERING THE GERMAN MARKET

O.Y. Nofar Energy Ltd. based in Israel acquired a battery storage project with a storage capacity of more than 100 MW in the North East of Germany and was comprehensively assisted and advised by BBH in the process. With this investment, O.Y. Nofar Energy Ltd. lays the foundation for a promising future on the German market.

O.Y. Nofar Energy Ltd. (“Nofar”), Israel, is one of the leading global investors in the area of renewable energy sources. Nofar has expanded its project portfolio by investing hundreds of millions in projects currently located in eight countries and is one of the biggest players when it comes to PV projects and battery storage systems.

In the context of a comprehensive due diligence investigation, BBH examined the legal aspects of the project and advised Nofar on drafting and negotiating the share purchase and assignment agreement for the acquisition of a project company. O.Y. Nofar Energy Ltd. thus managed to secure market access in a region where no project of comparable size or form exists to date.

“We are pleased that we could assist Nofar in this important project and that the transaction was handled in a highly professional manner in a very difficult situation for our client,” said BBH partners Wolfram von Blumenthal and Jens Vollprecht, the lead advisors in the transaction.
