Renewable energyRenewables, more than one asset class

Renewable energy. Our driving force for tomorrow

EU climate targets 2030: To achieve this, annual investments of around 260 billion euros are required.1 The current deposits of German private households alone amount to around 1,782 billion euros - almost seven times as high.2 Commerz Real intends to fill this gap: as an expert in tangible assets, our focus in the area of renewables is on plants for generating renewable energies.

We invest investors’ capital through two regulated management companies: Commerz Real Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH (Germany) and Commerz Real Fund Management S.à r.l. (Luxembourg), both 100% subsidiaries of Commerz Real AG. In this way, we bring capital to where it can make a big impact.

What technologies are we investing in?

  • Onshore wind farm
    Onshore wind farms are among the most cost-efficient renewable energy generation technologies. With projects in Germany, France, Finland and other European countries, onshore wind forms the broadest base in the portfolio.
  • Offshore wind farm
    On the open sea, wind turbines achieve higher and more constant yields than onshore. With investments such as the North Sea wind farm Veja Mate (402 MW), offshore wind is one of the most powerful segments in the portfolio.
  • photovoltaics
    In addition to classic solar parks, Commerz Real is investing in innovative variants such as agri-photovoltaic systems that combine agricultural land and electricity generation. This makes the PV portfolio technologically diverse and future-proof.
  • Electricity transmission networks
    Grids transport electricity from the producer to the consumer. The investment in transmission grids supplements the portfolio with a component with particularly stable regulated income and closes the value chain of the energy transition.

We have been active in the renewable energy market for more than 20 years. We have an edge when it comes to experience, and you can also see that in our team. We benefit from this both in terms of acquisitions and operations.

Your questions - our answers

Private investors can invest in a broad portfolio of wind and solar farms as well as transmission grids via klimaVest. Institutional investors have access to specialised funds with individually defined strategies. In both cases, Commerz Real’s fund management is responsible for selecting, purchasing and operating the investments. The income, predominantly from long-term power purchase agreements, flows to investors as a return.

The portfolio includes 102 solar and wind farms as well as transmission networks in several European countries. Technology: onshore wind, offshore wind, photovoltaics (incl. agri-PV) and electricity transmission grids. Examples: the Veja Mate offshore wind farm (402 MW) in the North Sea, the Kuuronkallio wind farm (216 GWh/year) in Finland, the Tordesillas solar farm in Spain. We do not invest in the largest projects, but in the most economically stable - with a solid contract structure and long-term production quality.

Firstly, experience: Active in renewable energies for over 20 years. Secondly, the approach: We work with specialised partners - project developers, technical operations managers, local market experts - instead of mapping everything in-house. Thirdly, the combination of renewable energies and real estate under one roof: An approach that makes both portfolios more future-proof in the long term.

Renewable energy plants generate their income mainly from long-term power purchase agreements. This makes cash flows more predictable than with many other asset classes. At the same time, renewable investments are largely independent of equity or real estate markets and thus offer a diversification effect in the portfolio.

Due to their function, renewable energy systems already make a direct contribution to CO₂ reduction. In addition, Commerz Real checks the ecological impacts on the location and environment for each purchase. klimaVest promotes ecological characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of the EU Disclosure Regulation.3
