RWE has struck a long-term partnership with Apollo Global Management, Inc. to secure funding for its 25.1% stake in Amprion GmbH, one of Germany’s four transmission system operators, as the country gears up for a decade of record #grid investments. #renewableenergy

Private capital meets public need: €3.2bn to strengthen Europe’s grid Germany has just unlocked €3.2bn of private capital for its transmission network. RWE and Apollo have formed a joint venture linked to RWE’s 25.1% stake in Amprion—one of Germany’s four TSOs serving ~29 million people—to fund a decade of grid expansion and help integrate renewables at scale. As networks grow, so does the attack surface—physical and digital. Substations, control rooms, depots and data centres need consistent, auditable access that works for mixed in-house and contractor teams without slowing operations. At ISEO, we help TSOs, DSOs and other operators unify mechanical and electronic access, standardise permissions across large estates and harden sites in line with critical-infrastructure standards—so you can build faster and operate safer. #EnergyTransition #Grid #CriticalInfrastructure #Utilities #TSO #InfrastructureInvestment #UltimateAccessTechnologies https://lnkd.in/dBukU_qY
