Enerparc Secures Growth with Billion-Euro Financing for Solar Parks and Battery Storage
Hamburg (Germany) – Enerparc AG continues its expansion course: with a billion-euro financing package, the Hamburg-based solar park developer strengthens its market position and lays the foundation for the expansion of solar parks and battery storage in Germany, France, and Spain. The financing supports the company’s medium-term growth objectives.
Billion-Euro Financing for Accelerated Growth Enerparc AG, one of the leading companies in ground-mounted solar parks and battery storage, has reached a key milestone in its growth strategy. A financing package of up to one billion euros is intended to secure the continued expansion of solar parks and energy storage systems. The package combines a €500 million junior loan with a long-term project financing framework of up to €425 million (including an accordion facility of up to €500 million).
With this package, Enerparc establishes the foundation for achieving its medium-term growth-oriented corporate goals. After a very successful previous year with 1.2 gigawatts of newly installed solar capacity – raising its own ground-mounted portfolio to 5 gigawatts – Enerparc is also planning increased expansion volumes for 2026. In parallel, the expansion of battery storage systems (BESS) is to be significantly accelerated: currently, 24 storage systems with around 220 MWh are in operation or under construction, mostly in combination with Enerparc’s own solar parks.
Enerparc CEO Christoph Koeppen emphasizes: “The current challenges in the solar industry led many market participants to hold back last year. At the same time, we have demonstrated in this environment what can be achieved with determination, expertise, and commitment – and we will continue to do so. I am very pleased that our financing partners are supporting this path with trust, expertise, and a constructive, collegial approach.”
Strategic Partners Secure Financing The financing package is provided by a consortium of three international asset managers – EIG, Schroders Capital, and Eiffel Investment Group – as well as the German regional bank LBBW. The junior loan serves as an equity substitute for projects in Germany, France, and Spain and covers the next five years. The junior loan was structured and placed by Astris Finance. “We designed a financing structure that ensures the necessary acceleration so that this machine can continue to grow over the next years. With EIG, Schroders Capital, and Eiffel Investment Group, we have selected a group of experienced lenders whose deep knowledge in the renewable energy segment was a decisive success factor,” says Fabrice Henry, CEO of Astris Finance.
LBBW is responsible for the long-term project financing, which covers both construction and operational phases and can be gradually activated for projects within 36 months. Alexander Enrique Kuhn from Capcora, who advised Enerparc, comments: “This transaction is a real milestone for the German renewable energy market. The structuring and implementation of project financing with LBBW for Enerparc is the largest of its kind in Germany to date and demonstrates how scalable, long-term debt solutions can support ambitious growth strategies in the solar and battery storage sectors.”
With this secured financing, Enerparc lays the groundwork for accelerated expansion in its core markets and sends a strong signal to investors and the renewable energy sector in Europe.
