Fieldfisher Advises Simply Blue Group on Strategic Investment by Kansai Electric Power Company

The transaction, signed in Cork last week and publicly announced on Monday, marks a significant milestone for Simply Blue.

Following the closing, the management teams of Simply Blue Group and KEPCO met with An Taoiseach Micheál Martin at Government Buildings to mark the occasion. Commenting on the deal, the Taoiseach said:

“This investment is a vote of confidence in Ireland’s offshore wind potential and in the talent and ambition of Irish companies like Simply Blue Group.”

Simply Blue Group operates across Ireland, the UK, the US, Spain, and Sweden, and has built a global reputation in floating offshore wind and sustainable marine development. Fieldfisher has supported the company on a range of strategic, multi-jurisdictional transactions with its lead investor Octopus, and leading energy partners including EDF, TotalEnergies and Odfjell.

This latest transaction underscores Fieldfisher’s ability to deliver seamless legal support across international markets through its integrated, multi-jurisdictional teams.

Feilim O'Caoimh, Partner at Fieldfisher Ireland, commented:

"This deal marks another milestone in our long-standing partnership with Simply Blue Group. As they continue to evolve, we are proud to deliver the cross-border legal support that helps power their ambition".
