Energiekontor AG, a German developer and operator of wind and solar farms based in Bremen, announces the issuance of a sustainable corporate bond with a target amount of €15 million. The bond, open for subscription until November 30, 2025, targets institutional investors, asset managers, and retail investors, with a minimum investment set at €3,000.

The debt instrument offers a fixed annual interest rate of 5.5% for a duration of eight years. No initial public offering is planned for this issuance. In a context where renewable energy now accounts for more than half of electricity consumption in Germany, Energiekontor was able to benefit from what are deemed favorable market conditions for this financing operation.

Financial objectives and diversification of the financing structure
The issuance aims to strengthen Energiekontor’s financial flexibility by diversifying its funding sources. The capital raised will be used as bridge financing for new renewable energy projects, primarily in the onshore wind and solar photovoltaic sectors. These projects are located in Germany as well as in several European markets, including the United Kingdom, France, and Portugal.

The company’s development portfolio has recently reached a total capacity of twelve gigawatts. Approximately one-third of this capacity pertains to solar projects, while the remaining two-thirds relate to onshore wind. To date, more than 1.2 gigawatts of projects have secured building permits, and around 450 megawatts are already under construction or have reached financial close.

A consistently growing operational portfolio
In addition to its development activities, Energiekontor also generates recurring revenue from its self-owned portfolio of parks. The company currently operates 39 wind and solar parks, representing a nominal capacity of approximately 444 megawatts. The electricity production from these facilities directly feeds the company’s cash flow.

Furthermore, over 200 additional megawatts are under construction and are intended to be added to the self-owned portfolio. Once these projects are completed, the total production capacity of the internal portfolio is expected to exceed 650 megawatts.

A positioning focused on stability and European growth
Energiekontor continues to rely on a strategy that combines the development of new projects with the operation of its own assets to ensure financial strength. In a European market marked by the continuous rise of renewable energy, this bond issuance serves as a targeted growth lever.

The operation comes at a time when investment opportunities in energy infrastructure are multiplying, particularly in countries with mature regulatory frameworks. Energiekontor’s hybrid model—combining development, construction, and operation—anchors its revenue in a long-term outlook.
