Germany’s oldest airport aims to power itself in the future entirely with self-generated renewable energy. To achieve this goal, Flughafen Hamburg GmbH and its subsidiary SES Sustainable Energy Solutions GmbH & Co. KG are banking on wind energy and instructed ENERCON GmbH to construct and install six wind turbines with a capacity of six megawatt each at the Heidmoor wind farm near Kaltenkirchen, north of Hamburg. The wind turbines are scheduled to be commissioned in 2028.
The BBH group assisted Flughafen Hamburg GmbH and SES Sustainable Energy Solutions GmbH & Co. KG throughout the transaction, delivering legal and tax advice on the design of the contracts for the acquisition, construction and maintenance of the six wind energy installations with ENERCON GmbH.
BBH partner and lawyer Jan-Hendrik vom Wege was in charge of drafting and negotiating the contracts while BBH partner and lawyer Thomas Schmeding advised on matters relating to access to data generated during the operation of the wind energy installations.
“We are delighted to contribute our expertise to making the energy supply of Hamburg Airport future-ready”, comments Jan-Hendrik vom Wege.
Both partners would like to thank lawyer Martin Dell (review of the contract including income tax, VAT and electricity tax aspects) and lawyer Jannika Kowaleski (contract law advice throughout the transaction) for their comprehensive support.
With more than 700 employees, 7,000 clients and 7 offices, the BBH group is a leading provider of advisory services to energy and infrastructure companies. Energy and supply companies (particularly public utilities, municipalities and local authorities), industrial companies and international groups are among its core clients.
