GE Energy Financial Services (EFS), a unit of GE, said on June 15 that it had acquired a 49% stake in Continuum Green Energy’s 148.5 MW Morjar onshore wind project in Gujarat for an undisclosed sum.

Continuum, majority-owned by the Global Infrastructure Fund and managed by Morgan Stanley Infrastructure, continues to hold a 51% stake in the project.

The acquisition marks the first equity investment by GE EFS in onshore wind energy in Gujarat through a structured preferred equity solution.

GE will provide its financial services capabilities in the Indian renewable energy market through a partnership with Continuum.

The company believes India is an important large-scale renewable energy market, with strong government support and a renewable energy target of 500 GW in 2030.
