Munich Re, the world’s biggest re-insurer, may buy a stake in an offshore wind farm operated by utilities such as EON SE and RWE AG as it earmarks 2.5 billion euros ($3.4 billion) to invest in renewable-energy assets.

MEAG Munich Ergo AssetManagement, Munich Re’s investment arm, is in talks with utilities about investing in a project stake once the farm is connected to the power grid, said Robert Pottmann, who heads MEAG’s renewable-energy unit.
