The transaction and subsequent offer values TERNA ENERGY’s total equity at 2.4bn euros5 with an enterprise value of 3.2bn euros, making it the largest ever energy transaction on the Athens Stock Exchange, and one of the largest in the European renewables market.

The proposed acquisition demonstrates the scale and ambition of Masdar’s growth plans in the region, and further solidifies Masdar’s role as a trusted global energy transition partner to governments, investors, developers and communities across the globe.

The proposed acquisition is expected to play an important role in growing Masdar’s portfolio in Europe as it targets 100GW global capacity by 2030. It also reflects Masdar’s confidence in TERNA ENERGY’s growth potential, as well as the strength of the Greek market and its renewables sector.

The transaction is aligned with GEK TERNA’s strategy of becoming the leading diversified infrastructure group in Greece and Southeast Europe and will accelerate the Group’s path to a new growth era.

Demonstrating continuity in leadership, TERNA ENERGY’s Executive Chairman, Georgios Peristeris, and Chief Executive Officer, Emmanuel Maragoudakis, will continue in their current roles following completion of the transaction and support Masdar in leading the company in its next phase of growth.
