Actis buys a Polish wind base to seed a 1.5GW regional platform

Actis has agreed to buy Klara Renewables, a 171MW operating onshore wind portfolio in Poland, from CVC DIF. The deal seeds a new renewable energy platform in Central and Eastern Europe.

The purchase was announced in a release carried by Real Assets, the infrastructure-investor publication from IPE. Klara's wind projects sit in three Polish regions: Wielkopolska, Kujawy-Pomorze and Podlasie. The six sites use Vestas turbines. Their Contracts for Difference run to 2038-39. Those contracts give lenders and equity investors a revenue floor for more than a decade.

Klara's wind farms also have room for co-located solar PV and battery storage — roughly 275MW of hybridisation potential. Actis's new platform targets up to 1.5GW of capacity across wind, solar and storage. On paper, the gap between the seed and the target is roughly 1.3GW, so most of the build-out has to come from acquisitions or late-stage development.

The platform plans to create value by acquiring and developing further late-stage projects, including hybrids, on Klara's existing grid connections. Those connection points are the scarce asset; adding solar and storage to an operating wind site adds capacity without starting the connection process over.

Actis describes itself as a growth-market investor in sustainable infrastructure. In the 2025 Top 100 Infrastructure Investment Managers ranking that accompanies the release, it placed 52nd.

Financial terms were not disclosed, so there is no valuation to size the trade. The strategic logic is clear enough: the base is contracted wind, and the growth option is co-located solar and storage at connection points that already exist.

This is Actis's second such platform in the region; the area is more than a side project. The remaining work is unglamorous. The target is 1.5GW, about eight times the seed. The next few acquisitions will show whether Actis stacks assets onto Klara's grid connections or builds new projects alongside them.
