Qair also takes over the two operating units of Green City AG in Italy and France with their employees as well as the independent company Green City Operations & Management GmbH, Munich which is responsible for the management of photovoltaic and wind plants.<\/p>\n Green City<\/strong><\/p>\n With a proven 30 years track record, Green City is an integrated project provider for the development, the financing, the construction, and operation of renewable energy assets located in Munich, Germany. Taking over 106 highly qualified employees and a sizeable portfolio of wind and solar projects under development, Qair will be able to enter the German market at full speed.<\/p>\n The sale of the energy transition company was preceded by a multi-stage structured investor process that saw an exceptionally high number of prospective buyers from Germany and abroad. “Qair ultimately prevailed because the company can offer Green City AG the best chance of success in the future,” administrator Axel Bierbach explained. “Qair’s offer convinced us the most conceptually, structurally and financially and is the best solution for both the numerous creditors and the employees of Green City AG,” he said.<\/p>\n “I am very pleased that we have achieved our goals in such a short time: With Qair we have found a buyer who will continue the promising project development business with almost the entire workforce, also with the cooperation partners involved,<\/em>\u201d said Axel W.
