The notice opens the European Commission’s merger review of 3i’s plan to buy full control of Idro 2020 and Nordic Windfarm, and to take joint control with Rittal of Lefdal Datacentre. The assets involved include hydroelectric plants in Italy, onshore wind farms in Sweden, and a data centre in Norway. The case is likely to be handled under the EU’s simplified merger process, which is used for transactions that appear unlikely to raise major competition concerns. Competitors, customers, or other interested parties have 10 days from publication to submit comments to the Commission, using case reference M.12400.
