European companies are showing great unity and solidarity in their approach to the energy industry. Instead of remaining isolated and pursuing initiatives individually, they are working together to ensure the entire continent can meet its clean energy objectives. In the latest example, European Energy has sold the Henglarn onshore wind development to DaVinci Energy.
European Energy and DaVinci reach an agreement for a wind development
Although European countries have experienced tension in the past, they are electing to set their differences aside and reach deals that will benefit the general population. This is why a Denmark-based company like European Energy can sell the Henglarn onshore wind development in Germany to Turkish-based company, DaVinci Energy.
It is not a surprise to see that Germany is at the core of the agreement, considering that it is the largest wind energy-producing nation in Europe and does not seem to be slowing down. Ultimately, the deal represents another step in European Energy’s strategy to recycle capital and hasten the expansion of new renewable energy projects across Europe.
Denmark has already been involved in groundbreaking wind energy developments as of 2026 and continues to be active. The Henglarn project is located in North Rhine-Westphalia and is seen as a considerably small but technologically advanced wind installation.
Unpacking European Energy’s decision to sell the Henglarn wind project to DaVinci
While most of the talk has surrounded European Energy, the acquisition is massive for DaVinci as it allows the firm to officially enter the German renewable energy market, which is the most important market to be a part of. As such, some people might question why exactly European Energy would decide to let go of such a valuable project.
While some companies elect to complete deals that result in part ownership from both companies, European Energy confirmed that it has sold 100% of the Henglarn onshore wind project to DaVinci Energy. With the facility being located in one of the most wind energy beneficial areas, it is surprising that the company would do so
The project possesses a single Enercon E‑160 EP5 E3 wind turbine with a total installed capacity of 5.56 MW. This turbine became commercially operational on July 11, 2025, and the project as a whole falls under Germany’s renewable energy support mechanism known as the EEG feed-in tariff.
What did the sale of the project aim to achieve for European Energy?
The Danish company suggests that the sale of the facility is a decision that is consistent with its long-term strategy of selling operational assets to free up capital for new renewable energy developments. This is a model known as capital rotation.
The reason why developers are using it is that it permits them to finance additional projects while maintaining activity in the energy transition. Ultimately, for a company like European Energy, which has been a constant feature in Germany for multiple years, asset recycling is an essential component of its growth strategy.
DaVinci Energy officially invests in the German wind energy market
Considering a company like DaVinci Energy, which was only founded in 2020, this is one of the biggest highlights since its inception. The company is headquartered in Ankara, Türkiye, and specializes in renewable energy consulting and project development.
All in all, it oversees a renewable energy portfolio of over 2 GW of wind and solar projects in Türkiye on behalf of more than ten investors. Among the countries with which it has ties are the Netherlands, Germany, and Hungary.
When companies reach an agreement of this magnitude, they are hoping for the beginning of a relationship that could benefit both of them for many years to come. It is fascinating to see European firms repeatedly working on wind energy initiatives while the U.S. experiences hiccups.
