Best investment 20266 good reasons for renewable energy

1st reason: New questions need new answers

No matter how different we humans are, we agree at least on this point: The last few years have been tough. The world is changing, one crisis chasing the next, both in Germany and in Europe and around the world. There was first a new pandemic, then a war in the middle of Europe, followed by a severe energy crisis - and above all the permanent burner: the climate crisis.

Some of these problems can't be solved as easily as you like. That’s why it’s all the more important to address those problems that you can address. And new problems often require new ideas and new technologies in order to find long-term solutions. 

This is evident in the automotive industry, for example: In recent years, the share of electric vehicles has steadily increased. In 2025, their share of new car registrations in Germany reached a new peak of 19.1 percent.¹ Electric cars emit around 30 percent² less climate-damaging gases than conventional vehicles over their entire service life.

And the signs are also green in the energy sector: To develop long-term alternatives to petroleum, coal, etc. more and more efficient solutions are being developed, such as powerful wind turbines and solar power plants - two technologies for sustainable energy production that together accounted for around 46 percent of Germany’s electricity generation in 2025.³ And with reliable and powerful technologies such as wind, hydro or solar power, there are no questions left unanswered when it comes to designing future-proof energy supply systems.

2nd reason: More stability across the board

Especially in times of crisis, investors are looking for security - even in times like today. According to a recent study by BarmeniaGothaer, 47 percent of respondents⁴ consider high security to be the most important aspect of investing money.

Classic investments such as precious metals, savings books or overnight/fixed-term deposits are still heavily used. However, many of these investment products no longer yield as much as they did in the past. After the high interest income of recent years, interest rates have been falling again since 2024, while inflation rose to 2.9 percent in April 2026⁵ - driven primarily by energy prices. Real returns are therefore scarce or negative for many classic investments.

That’s why we need an alternative that provides stability and protects the invested capital from loss of value. Investments in renewable energies, for example via investment funds in the area of renewable energies, generate their income primarily from the electricity produced by wind, solar, etc. and often sold via long-term purchase agreements. This makes both the fund’s own income and the returns of investors plannable and ensures greater plannability of earnings.

And security of supply can also be significantly increased with renewable energies. The more the energy infrastructure in Germany is expanded, the more own electricity can be fed into the local electricity grid.  

On the one hand, this reduces the dependence on external electricity and heat suppliers. On the other hand, Germany is becoming more independent of imported fuels and their price fluctuations - a factor that has gained in importance since the energy crisis in 2022.

A higher proportion of renewables does not automatically make the power system quieter. As long as storage and grids do not grow at the same pace, short-term electricity prices can become even more volatile. This is precisely why stability for investors is created primarily via long-term purchase agreements and feed-in tariffs, not via the day market.

3rd reason: Long-term approach pays off

Speaking of security of supply: In 2023-2025, renewable energies covered more than half of Germany’s electricity demand for the third year in a row. Overall, the share of renewable energies in German electricity consumption has increased since the last decade from 25 percent (2013) to 55.8 percent (2025)⁶. In electricity generation, the share of renewable energies also rose to a new high and reached 56.58.6 percent for the first time ³.

Wind power still accounts for the largest share of this. The onshore wind power plants built in 2025 alone with around 5.2 gigawatts of additional power can supply several million households with climate-friendly electricity.⁷

The expansion of solar power plants is also continuing at a high level: In 2025, around 17.8 gigawatts of photovoltaic power were installed. This means that the total installed PV power in Germany is around 117.7 gigawatts⁸.

After the expansion of renewable energy plants in the previous year was slower than planned, things are now progressing well again - so well that the signs are good that Germany will be able to successfully achieve its climate protection targets by 2030. 
So even if things are going slower than planned in some years, The long-term expansion of renewable energies is already more than paying off.

4th reason: An investment in innovation

It is not always possible to predict early on how new and innovative products or technologies will affect our environment and society. And in such cases, the consequences will only become apparent when the innovation has long since taken hold. The fact that the invention of single-use plastic, for example, would create huge waste mountains around the world was probably hardly considered in the hype of the 1960s.

This was followed by a certain scepticism, which is still faced with many innovations today - and rightly so. After all, whether a product or technology is truly innovative is increasingly evident from how future-proof it is. Looking ahead is therefore indispensable when it comes to promoting new and promising ideas and making them strong throughout society.

For example, some technologies for fossil energy production are no longer future-proof. A single wind turbine built in 2010 can hardly keep up with the times. Renewable energies are just at the beginning of their innovative power. And because they work with natural resources such as wind and water, there is huge potential here to develop even greener ideas and concepts for energy production. The prerequisite is to invest in a flexible concept - i.e. in an open fund rather than a closed fund.

This process is already in full swing: Concepts such as agriphotovoltaics are already being developed that make it possible to use areas on which solar systems are located also for agricultural planting or livestock farming. Or wind turbines without blades that do not pose a risk to birds. Or floating PV, which places solar systems on open water surfaces and thus protects the water and the organisms living in it from excessive sunlight.

An investment in renewable energies is therefore also an investment in sustainable, innovative and, above all, future-proof ideas and technologies. Because one doesn't work without the other.

5th reason: Energy from own sources

Stable energy prices have become an exception in Europe. In April 2026, inflation in Germany rose again to 2.9 percent⁹, driven primarily by rising energy costs in the course of the Iran conflict. Many have now become accustomed to such leaps, but have not accepted them.

This reveals a pattern that has not resolved since the end of Russian gas imports in 2022, but has only shifted. Where pipeline gas used to come from the East, liquefied gas now comes from the US. By 2025, the US already covered 57 percent of European LNG imports, and an increase to around two thirds is expected by 2026¹⁰. Europe has changed suppliers, but not dependencies.

This is precisely where renewable energies come in. Wind, sun and water come from our own country. They cannot be boycotted, sanctioned or made more expensive because a pipeline is blown or a tanker is diverted somewhere in the world. In 2026, this is no longer just an ecological argument, but an industrial policy: With the European Green Deal and the Net-Zero Industry Act, the EU has made renewable energies a strategic pillar of its energy policy. By 2030, Europe is expected to cover 40 percent¹¹ of its annual demand for green energy technologies from its own production.

For investors, this means a reliable horizon. Investments in renewable energies thus benefit from a policy framework that is firmly anchored at European level and that extends beyond individual parliamentary terms.

6th reason: Together we move faster

Wind, water and sun already secure our supply of electricity and heat today. Many important steps have already been taken, expansion is progressing steadily, the share of renewable energies is increasing - albeit slower than hoped.¹²

But further progress depends not only on politics, but also on us as a society. The good news is: If you want to do more, you can do more. With investment products from the renewable energies sector, for example, which invest directly in the expansion of wind power & co.  Because without private capital, the energy transition will not succeed.

With the klimaVest tangible asset fund, private investors have also had access to the renewable energies asset class for the first time since 2020 and can invest in the development and operation of wind and solar power plants throughout Europe.

As an ELTIF (European Long-Term Investment Fund), klimaVest offers a direct investment in the European real economy on the one hand, and a high level of transparency and protection for its investors on the other.

klimaVest’s portfolio consists of 43 assets across Europe. Among other things, the electricity generated in this way is sold via long-term purchase agreements and directly on the market. This creates a stable, predictable cash flow for both the fund and its investors. klimaVest therefore operates completely outside the stock market and remains unaffected by fluctuations caused by the stock market.

klimaVest is a future-oriented investment that offers low and easily calculable risk while also offering solid earnings opportunities. In this way, an investment can become the best investment option for 2026 and beyond. A fund volume of around 1.8 billion euros and the position as Germany’s largest ELTIF¹³ for private investors indicate this.
