Frank­furt am Main — McDer­mott Will & Emery has advi­sed Hanwha Q CELLS GmbH on the acqui­si­tion of 66% of the shares in LYNQTECH GmbH, a subsi­diary of ener­city AG (Stadt­werke Hanno­ver). LYQNTECH will conti­nue to exist as a company. The closing of the tran­sac­tion is subject to appr­oval by the rele­vant regu­la­tory authorities.

Foun­ded in 2020, the modu­lar cloud energy plat­form LYNQTECH provi­des energy suppli­ers with digi­tal solu­ti­ons to opti­mize their sales proces­ses. With the acqui­si­tion of a majo­rity stake in LYNQTECH, Qcells conso­li­da­tes its posi­tion as a full-service provi­der of clean energy solu­ti­ons and expands its digi­tal services portfolio.

Part of the Hanwha Group since 2012, Qcells is play­ing a key role in shaping the tran­si­tion to a clean energy sector as a leading global manu­fac­tu­rer of solar products for resi­den­tial and commer­cial custo­mers. Qcells’ parent company is Hanwha Solu­ti­ons Corpo­ra­tion, a multi­na­tio­nal energy services, petro­che­mi­cal and real estate deve­lo­p­ment company head­quar­te­red in Seoul, South Korea.

The team led by Dr. Bernd Meyer-Witting and Florian Lech­ner has alre­ady recently advi­sed Hanwha Group on the acqui­si­tion of RES Médi­ter­ra­née SAS by Hanwha Solu­ti­ons Corpo­ra­tion (HSC).
