Ashurst advised HASPA Green GmbH on the acquisition of the Klein Leine Nord IV wind farm in Brandenburg and the Roldisleben-Olbersleben wind farm in Thuringia, both Germany, from wind and solar farm developer UKA. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
The Klein Leine wind farm is situated in the Dahme-Spreewald district of Brandenburg and consists of four Nordex N149 turbines. The nominal capacity of two of the turbines is 5.7 MW each, and 4.5 MW each of the other two.

The Roldisleben-Olbersleben wind farm is located in the municipality of Großneuhausen in the Sömmerda district of Thuringia and comprises two Vestas V150 turbines with a nominal capacity of 5.6 MW each. The turbines were fully commissioned in 2021. They supply more than 8,000 three person households with green energy and save over 17,000 t of CO2 per year.
