This capital will be sufficient to realze a total invest volume of almost half a billion euros in wind and solar parks in Europe. The funds come from institutional investors under a new direct mandate and two special funds currently distributed by renowned banking partners. In addition, a financial institution that is already an Encavis AM client has again made available a significant amount for direct investments in European solar parks. First investments are expected for the fourth quarter of 2018. The capital will be used to build up broadly diversified portfolios of wind and solar parks in various European countries. Besides the diversification across energy generation types and regions, it is planned to acquire both plants benefiting from government-guaranteed feed-in tariffs and parks operated on the basis of long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs).
