SOLUTIO AG & Alantra initiate fund for renewable energies

Grün­wald near Munich/Madrid — SOLUTIO AG, a leading provi­der of inno­va­tive invest­ment concepts for insti­tu­tio­nal inves­tors, and Alan­tra Solar, the rene­wa­ble energy invest­ment stra­tegy of the global finan­cial services company Alan­tra, which specia­li­zes in invest­ment banking and alter­na­tive asset manage­ment, have ente­red into a stra­te­gic part­ner­ship. The aim of the joint venture is to create a joint fund for rene­wa­ble ener­gies. It is to be laun­ched in 2025 as an Article 9 fund in accordance with the EU Disclo­sure Regu­la­tion (SFDR) and will have a target volume of between EUR 500 million and EUR 1 billion. 

The plan­ned fund will invest directly in solar energy and energy storage projects in Spain, Italy, France, Germany and the United King­dom. The focus will be on finan­cing projects that make a signi­fi­cant contri­bu­tion to the energy tran­si­tion in Europe and are in line with the objec­ti­ves of the EU’s “REPowerEU” program and the “Green Deal”, in parti­cu­lar the recently published Green Deal Indus­trial Plan. 

“With this part­ner­ship, we are taking a signi­fi­cant step towards sustainable energy invest­ments. The combi­na­tion of our exper­tise with that of Alan­tra Solar enables us to launch a fund that pursues both ecolo­gi­cal and econo­mic goals,” explains Robert Massing (photo), CEO of SOLUTIO AG.

Alan­tra Solar has exten­sive expe­ri­ence in the rene­wa­ble energy sector. Since its foun­da­tion in 2021, Alan­tra Solar has finan­ced projects with a total capa­city of 5.2 giga­watts and inves­ted over 1 billion euros in photo­vol­taics. Four funds have been successfully laun­ched to date. The team of 20 profes­sio­nals works from offices in Madrid and Milan. The entire Alan­tra team consists of more than 600 employees world­wide and opera­tes from 20 offices in 18 countries. 

“The coope­ra­tion with SOLUTIO AG enables us to further expand our exper­tise in the field of rene­wa­ble ener­gies and to jointly estab­lish a fund that meets the high requi­re­ments of an Article 9 fund,” says Javier Mellado, CEO and part­ner of Alan­tra Solar.

The plan­ned fund will offer insti­tu­tio­nal inves­tors the oppor­tu­nity to invest in a diver­si­fied port­fo­lio of rene­wa­ble energy projects and thus bene­fit from both attrac­tive yield oppor­tu­ni­ties and a posi­tive envi­ron­men­tal impact.

The plan­ned fund will invest directly in solar energy and energy storage projects in Spain, Italy, France, Germany and the United King­dom. The focus will be on finan­cing projects that make a signi­fi­cant contri­bu­tion to the energy tran­si­tion in Europe and are in line with the objec­ti­ves of the EU’s “REPowerEU” program and the “Green Deal”, in parti­cu­lar the recently published Green Deal Indus­trial Plan.
