BayWa r.e. Reaches Key Milestone: Secures Multi-Billion Euro Financing Through 2029

Munich, Germany – BayWa r.e. has secured a comprehensive refinancing package worth approximately €3 billion with its shareholders and financing partners. The financing, which extends through mid-2029, includes bank loans, shareholder loans, and operational guarantees. It also incorporates the additional €435 million financing announced in March.

With this package, the company aims to advance its transformation and position itself long-term as a leading independent power producer (IPP). The funds will be invested in project development and construction in the wind, solar, and battery storage sectors, as well as in operations, maintenance, and energy trading.

"With this important milestone, we are entering the next phase of our business development from a position of financial and strategic strength, with a clear framework in place for our operational initiatives and pipeline expansion", said Hans-Joachim Ziems, CRO of BayWa r.e.

BayWa AG remains the majority shareholder with a 51 percent stake, while Energy Infrastructure Partners holds 49 percent and contributes industry-specific expertise. Strategically, BayWa r.e. continues to focus on markets with stable regulatory environments and strong growth potential. The sale of the solar trading business is planned for the medium term but remains an important strategic pillar in the meantime.
