29 July, 2021
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised Arendals Fossekompani, a Norwegian listed company, on the sale of Cogen Energia to MET Group.
The sale of Cogen Energia is part of a strategic move by Arendals Fossekompani to exit all fossil fuel positions. Cogen Energia is recognised as a major player in the Spanish cogeneration market. Cogen Energia’s cogeneration plants use waste heat from gas-fired electricity production to generate steam for nearby industrial partners.
The GA_P team consisted of: David González, Ignacio de la Fuente and Miguel Azpeitia, partner, associate and trainee, respectively, from the Corporate area, and Luis Gil, of counsel from the Public Law area.

Notarial enforcement of pledges. Is Article 1872 of the Civil Code mandatory? In what sense?
The clause agreed upon must comply, for greater certainty, with the provisions of the new judicial enforcement procedure. It will be necessary to agree on an appraised value, which is not required in Article 1872 CC, because otherwise the award would be similar to a ‘forfeiture proviso’ (pactum commissorium), which the Civil Code neutralised with the drastic imposition of extinguishment of the debt in its entirety.
