Envision Energy Ltd, has acquired 500 MW of onshore wind projects in France from Velocita Energy Developments, an independent European developer, owner and operator of wind and renewable energy projects.

At the time, as we reported in mid October, Velocita sold, two of its onshore wind projects in Scotland (UK) to NTR.  The 35-MW Airies project in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, as well as the 11.5-MW Ardoch and Over Enoch wind farm.
