Traunstein, Germany, 5. Oktober 2026
- €155 million facility from funds managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (“CIP”) refinances MaxSolar’s existing HoldCo debt and provides new capital for growth
- Financing supports the build-out of an approx. 1.3 GW portfolio of solar PV, standalone BESS, and co-located BESS projects in Germany, of which 465 MW is already operational
MaxSolar GmbH, an integrated developer and operator of renewable energy, storage, heating and mobility infrastructure headquartered in Traunstein, Germany, has successfully closed a €155 million HoldCo debt financing provided by funds managed by CIP. The facility refinances MaxSolar’s existing HoldCo debt and provides committed capital to build out an approx. 1.3 GW portfolio of solar PV and battery storage projects in Germany.
The new facility replaces the HoldCo financing put in place in 2023, which supported MaxSolar’s transition from a developer and EPC service provider towards becoming a large independent power producer (“IPP”) of renewable energy in Germany. Alongside the refinancing, it provides flexible capital to fund project capital expenditure as assets move through construction and to finance selected project acquisitions from MaxSolar’s development platform.
The portfolio supporting the financing totals approx. 1.3 GW, comprising 912 MW of solar PV, of which 440 MW is already in operation, and 379 MW of standalone and co-located battery storage, of which 25 MW of co-located capacity is operational. MaxSolar will continue to take projects from development through construction and into long-term ownership, pairing generation with storage across the portfolio to capture more value from every MW it connects to the grid.
The financing is provided by funds managed by CIP, a global fund manager and one of the most active providers of capital to the European energy transition. CIP’s Green Credit strategy invests in renewable energy projects and energy transition companies across OECD markets. Its participation reflects confidence in MaxSolar’s platform execution capability and its positioning within the German market.
Akereos Capital acted as exclusive debt adviser to MaxSolar. Latham and Watkins and A&O Shearman acted as legal advisers to the borrower and the lenders respectively. Fichtner Management Consulting, Aurora Energy Research, Deloitte and Latham & Watkins provided technical, commercial, tax and legal due diligence respectively.
Christoph Strasser, CEO of MaxSolar, said:
“This facility gives us confidence in the committed funding to take projects from ready-to-build into operation, and refinancing with a single lender simplifies a structure that had grown up around us. CIP understands the German market and the economics of co-locating storage with solar, which matters more with every project we build.”
Jakob Groot, Partner at Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, said:
“We are pleased to partner with MaxSolar. The combination of development, construction and long-term ownership in a single platform is a strong fit with the investment profile of our Green Credit strategy. The company has already brought a substantial share of its portfolio into operation, and this facility is structured to fund the next phase of that build-out.”
