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

Energy transition is global – and collaboration makes it stronger! 🌍⚡ Last week, Roland Hermes and I had the privilege of a personal exchange between BSES Rajdhani Power Limited & BSES Yamuna Power Limited and E.ON SE, hosted at Süwag in Frankfurt and in New Delhi. A big thank you to Abhishek Ranjan (CEO, BSES Rajdhani) and his team – Vishnu Srivastava, Saurabh Kumar, Maneesh Arora, and Devender Sharma – for the inspiring discussions and go and see site visits. Also, I extend my tanks to Sebastian Lührs, Edwin Schick and the team involved at Süwag. Here are some key takeaways that stuck with me: 🔋 Delhi’s energy transition is in full swing. Like many E.ON markets, the capital city faces the challenge of balancing rising electricity demand with growing renewable generation. Drivers include increased air conditioning usage and a rapidly expanding fleet of ~2,000 electric buses – with ambitious plans to scale further, potentially surpassing Hamburg in electric buses per inhabitant. ⚡ BSES Rajdhani Power Limited is leading with innovation. Let me share one example: As a private utility, they’re investing in grid capacity and deploying Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to enhance supply security. We visited a grid station with a 20 MW / 40 MWh BESS, inaugurated in April 2025 – one of many already in operation or planned. 💡 Technology enables progress – but people make it happen. The dedication and vision of Abhishek and his team are truly making a difference. At E.ON we follow a similar path as playmaker. Let’s keep building bridges and learning from each other. The energy transition is a shared journey – and we’re stronger together. #EnergyTransition #Innovation #Collaboration #EON #BSES #Süwag #ElectricMobility #BatteryStorage #SmartGrid #Delhi #Frankfurt #GlobalExchange

💧 🚰 💧 KfW IPEX-Bank supports European exports, committing £154m as part of a £3bn financing package for the overhaul of a 70-year-old aqueduct owned by English water supplier United Utilities. 💧 🚰 💧 The Haweswater Aqueduct carries 570 million litres of water from Cumbria to Manchester and Lancashire every day, and thus supplies water to nearly 5 per cent of England’s population. The original 110km pipeline - which is approaching its 70th birthday - was a major feat of engineering when it was originally built. Construction will get underway in 2026 and will see six tunnel sections replaced, with most of the work happening below ground using the latest tunnelling techniques. STRABAG brings a wealth of experience from similar tunnelling schemes in Europe, partnered by longstanding infrastructure investors Equitix and GLIL Infrastructure. Dr Velibor Marjanovic, Member of the Management Board of KfW IPEX-Bank, says: “We are proud to play a prominent role in this landmark transaction for water supply in the UK. With this financing we also underline our strong commitment to supporting the European export industry.” As part of the programme to upgrade and improve the region’s strategic water network, this new contract paves the way for one of the largest water infrastructure programmes across the UK, creating hundreds of jobs in the region.  The programme is the first in the water sector to be delivered through a Direct Procurement for Customers model to provide best value for customers. It covers the design, construction, maintenance and financing of the scheme. #Infrastructure #WaterInfrastructure #InfrastructureFinance #IPEX

🌱 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
