To facilitate the energy transition in Germany, we need to expand and upgrade our grid infrastructure as the backbone of our energy system. Hence, Transmission System Operators like Amprion GmbH are planning significant investments to provide a future-proofed system.   As a shareholder in Amprion, one of the four TSOs in Germany, we fully support that. To secure the future funding of our 25.1% stake in Amprion, we’ve teamed up with Apollo Global Management, Inc., a global asset manager with significant experience in infrastructure investments.   Apollo will provide €3.2 billion in equity to a new joint venture that will hold our stake in Amprion. Together, we will gradually put these funds into Amprion to support its extensive investment programme. We are very excited to welcome Apollo as our new partner. This is a win-win for RWE, Apollo, Amprion and the energy transition.   📷: Amprion GmbH / Daniel Schumann

We are proud to announce the closing of a senior bridge financing to support NEAG Norddeutsche Energie AG, an independent renewable energy producer, in the construction of two onshore wind farms located in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, with a combined capacity of 44 MW.   These projects will be equipped with the latest-generation turbines from eno energy GmbH and benefit from long-term feed-in tariffs under Germany’s Renewable Energy Sources Act. Both sites will operate under 20-year full-service agreements.   This tailor-made financing solution will enable NEAG to initiate construction and secure critical industrial components in a context of evolving European regulation, including the upcoming Net Zero Industry Act, which is expected to favor projects rooted in the EU industrial ecosystem. This transaction is fully aligned with RGREEN INVEST’s mission to accelerate the decarbonisation of energy systems by backing locally developed infrastructure relying on European technologies. It also showcases our ability to design flexible, adapted financing frameworks for independent developers.   Access the press release: https://lnkd.in/evPDKpsK #RGREENINVEST #RenewableEnergy #WindPower cc: Mathilde Ketoff Edouard SEFERIAN Clémence Piot @Nik Piening Dr. Johanna Jahnel Carolin Radon Alexander Enrique Kuhn Stephan Weissinger Xueying Wu Dr. Jens Gölz

🌱 Big news from our portfolio and Handelsblatt today: feld.energy has raised a €10M seed round to take Agri-PV to the next level! The round was led by HV Capital, with participation from AENU, Future Energy Ventures, and Angel Invest — a strong lineup of investors who believe in the future of dual land use: farming + solar. With Agri-PV, farmland stays farmland — harvests continue while solar power is generated above. That means: 🌾 More stable yields 💶 Additional income for farmers ⚡ A boost for the energy transition 💬 As CEO Adrian Renner puts it: “Farming and renewable energy can perfectly complement each other — creating lasting value and resilience for both agriculture and the climate.” The opportunity is enormous: over 2,900 GW of Agri-PV potential in Germany alone (Fraunhofer ISE). With its lease-based approach, feld.energy enables farmers to generate €100,000+ in additional income over 20 years — while increasing resilience against climate risks. 🔗 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/ei5FKiaC With this new funding, feld.energy will grow its team, scale implementation, and work toward a clear goal: Making dual land use — harvest + solar — the new standard. 🌱⚡ Philip Specht Dr. Fabian Heilemann Robert Stoecker Melusine Bliesener Ferry Heilemann Siobhan Brewster Elena Harumi Stark Melina Sánchez Montañés Katharina Beitz Ferry Heilemann Leo Allgoewer Francesco Nobili Michelle Piontek Sebastian Parizek Catrin Schmidt Daniel Zakowski #AgriPV #SeedFunding #ClimateResilience #EnergyTransition #RegenerativeFarming #feldenergy

What does it mean to build something for generations to come?   For Viessmann Generations Group CEO Max Viessmann the answer goes far beyond economic success. In his FOCUS interview, he shares how the Viessmann Generations Group is rethinking entrepreneurship – as a responsibility to future generations and as a force for long-term societal progress.   Our mission is rooted in four global challenges: 🌍 Greenhouse gas reduction 🌬️ Clean air 💧 Clean water 🌾 Food availability   Instead of short-term returns, we invest with purpose, in infrastructure, ecosystems, and innovation that will shape the decades ahead.   But Max also makes a broader point: that our collective success depends on more than strategy. It depends on our mindset. He calls for less polarization, more realism, and a new tone in public dialogue:   💬 “Politics, media, and each individual need to foster a ‘can-and-let’s-do’ mentality.”   Because the way we speak about the future is the way we start building it.
