Ireland’s ESB nears deal for stake in Scottish wind farm

Bloomberg

Electricity Supply Board (ESB), the state-owned Irish utility, is in advanced talks to buy a stake in a Scottish offshore wind farm project owned by Electricite de France SA, people familiar with the matter said.
A deal for a 50% holding in the Neart na Gaoithe development could be announced as soon as the next few weeks, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
EDF bought the asset from Mainstream Renewable Power Ltd last year for an undisclosed amount.
At the time, EDF said it would open the project to other investors in due course.
