Neubiberg/Munich, October 18, 2021 - Encavis Asset Management AG (Encavis AM), a subsidiary of the SDAX listed solar and wind farm operator Encavis AG, acquires six solar farms in Western and Southern France with a total generating capacity of 65.5 megawatts (MW) for the Versicherungskammer Group. The acquisition takes place within the Encavis Infrastructure Fund III (EIF III), a special fund exclusively owned by the Versicherungskammer Group and advised by Encavis AM.
