Enery will also acquire Jade's wholly-owned Dutch subsidiaries Transeastern Power Cooperatief U.A. and Transeastern Power B.V.
The closing of the sale transaction is subject to a number of customary conditions.
"While we are already developing solar greenfield assets in Romania for three years, this represents the initiation of our green electricity production in the fast growing and dynamic Romanian renewable energy through the acquisition of operational renewable capacity in a diversified mix of wind, solar and hydro generation," Enery CEO Richard König and COO Lukas Nemec said in the statement.
"As part of the transaction we will sell the mix of diversified renewable energy production via long-term power purchase agreements to key industrial off-takers in Romania, who are securing their long-term electricity needs at a substantial discount to current market prices."
Jade Power Trust has direct and indirect subsidiaries in Canada, the Netherlands and Romania, and has been formed to acquire interests in renewable energy assets in Romania, other countries in Europe and abroad that can provide stable cash flow and a suitable risk-adjusted return on investment, according to its website.
Vienna-based Enery has operations throughout the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria, producing almost 200 GWh of clean electricity, supplying almost 60,000 households.
