New Credit Strategy: Qualitas Energy Receives More Than 200 Million Euros In Capital Commitments For RE-Project Financing
Frankfurt am Main, Germany - Qualitas Energy, an investment and management platform in the renewable energy sector, has received investor commitments of more than 200 million euro for its new credit strategy. The fresh capital will be used to invest a total of 500 million euro in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy projects.
The Qualitas Energy Credit team specializes in financing solutions for renewable energy infrastructure. The first transactions with a total value of 126 million euros have already been successfully completed. These include bridge financing for the construction of three projects: a 28 MW solar park in Poland, an 83 MW ground-mounted plant in Germany and a 192 MW solar project in Spain.
Qualitas Energy's new credit strategy is led by industry experts José María Arzac and Severin Hiller and aims to close the financing gap in the renewable energy sector created by the rapid expansion. The committed funds will be used to expand the portfolio of projects in the areas of wind, solar, battery storage and other sustainable energy sources.
“With an energy transition market requiring trillions of dollars in funding across the capital stack, there is a growing need to finance emerging technologies and new revenue models. The rapid pace of this evolution is outpacing the capabilities of traditional debt providers, creating a funding gap that we aim to address with this Credit strategy,” explains José María Arzac, Partner and Co-Head of Credit.
Qualitas has more than 11 GW of energy assets in operation and under development, including photovoltaic, wind and battery storage projects. Since 2006, the Qualitas Energy team has invested more than 12 billion euros in renewable energy worldwide. These investments have been made through five funds: Fotowatio / FRV, Vela Energy, Qualitas Energy III, Qualitas Energy IV and Qualitas Energy V.
