By AI, Created 5:15 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – MergersCorp M&A International has signed a definitive origination agreement with WE ENERGO GMBH to source strategic partners for a 722 MW renewable energy portfolio across five South-Eastern European markets. The deal puts a large solar-and-wind pipeline with battery storage in front of institutional and infrastructure investors as projects move toward ready-to-build status.

Why it matters: - The agreement is designed to help WE ENERGO GMBH bring in institutional capital and infrastructure partners for one of its largest renewable energy pipelines. - The portfolio spans five countries in South-Eastern Europe, tying the expansion to the region’s power transition. - The project mix includes solar, wind and battery storage, which can support grid stability and revenue optimization. - The portfolio is projected to cut more than 580,000 tons of CO2 a year.

What happened: - MergersCorp M&A International entered a definitive M&A Origination Agreement with WE ENERGO GMBH. - MergersCorp will identify and develop relationships with potential strategic partners for a 722 MW renewable energy pipeline. - The mandate covers South-Eastern Europe and targets qualified institutional groups and infrastructure partners. - WE ENERGO GMBH is headquartered in Berlin and is led by CEO Markus Trummer.

The details: - The portfolio includes utility-scale projects in Kosovo, North Macedonia, Bosnia, Albania and Croatia. - Kosovo projects include the Dielli PV Farm at 150 MWp and the Zllakuqan PV Farm at 100 MWp. - North Macedonia projects include Sushevo 1 at 129 MWp and Sushevo 2 at 30 MWp. - Bosnia’s Gradiska PV Farm is planned at 120 MWp. - Albania’s projects include the Sarande Wind Farm at 80 MW and the Drin Wind Farm at 68.4 MW. - Croatia’s Cernik PV Farm is planned at 45 MWp. - The Macedonia 129 MWp project and the Kosovo 150 MWp project both include 100/200 MW/MWh battery energy storage systems. - Those storage systems are intended to support grid stability and day-ahead market revenue. - The total capital requirement is significant, with Dielli listed at €110 million and Sushevo 1 at €100 million. - The projects are structured with a 30% equity requirement. - Target internal rates of return range from 15% to 20%, depending on jurisdiction and project status. - Several assets are already at ready-to-build stage or are expected to reach that stage by late 2026 to early 2027. - WE ENERGO GMBH is a subsidiary of Swiss-based We Energo AG. - We Energo AG has operations in logistics, raw materials and critical products for the global economy.

Between the lines: - MergersCorp is positioning itself as an intermediary that can connect project developers with cross-border capital in a market where financing and partner selection can be as important as permitting. - The portfolio’s spread across several Balkan markets could diversify risk, but it also adds execution complexity across different jurisdictions. - The inclusion of BESS suggests the projects are being pitched as more than generation assets; they are also being framed as grid-support and trading opportunities. - The stated returns and ready-to-build timeline indicate the assets are being marketed to investors looking for project-stage infrastructure exposure rather than early-stage development risk.

What’s next: - MergersCorp will begin investor sourcing, market mapping and outreach for the portfolio. - WE ENERGO GMBH is expected to pursue strategic partners aligned with its long-term expansion plans in the Balkan energy market. - Some assets are expected to reach ready-to-build status by late 2026 to early 2027, which could advance financing and construction talks. - More information is available in the company’s announcement and WE ENERGO GMBH.
