European setup. Widely spread.
The wider the geographical spread, the better individual risks can be offset. If an asset fails at a location, it has less impact on the overall portfolio. At the same time, opportunities in different European markets can be exploited, as the framework conditions for renewable energy vary from country to country.
The continuous expansion contributes to the growth of renewable energies across Europe and supports the transition to a more climate-friendly energy economy.

Yield today. Potential for the future.
klimaVest combines existing systems with project developments. Currently, 91.76% is attributable to ongoing plants and 8.30% to plants under construction. This division combines two different approaches, each with its own strengths.
Existing plants deliver immediate returns because they already produce electricity and have proven performance data. Their technology is tried and tested, and the maintenance cycles are known. Project developments use state-of-the-art technology and thus work more efficiently. New plants can be designed for low operating costs right from the start, which improves the prospects for returns.
In the first years after commissioning, new systems incur less maintenance costs. They are also benefiting more from technological advances, such as more efficient turbines or more powerful solar modules. The combination of stable returns from existing investments and the return opportunities of new projects forms the foundation of the klimaVest strategy.

Regardless of the market. Miscellaneous income.

- Government funding
- PPA
- Regulated grid compensation
klimaVest uses different ways to sell the generated electricity. This diversification ensures more stable income, as remuneration models react differently to market changes.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)5 are fixed power purchase agreements, usually over 10 years or longer. The price is fixed in advance, which creates planning security. Customers include Google and Shell - many large companies have committed to using only electricity from renewable energies. These long-term contracts offer higher initial returns and reduce price risks.
The Renewable Energies Act (EEG) regulates remuneration for electricity fed into the grid. This model offers more flexibility in marketing. The more renewable electricity flows into the grid, the more conventional electricity is displaced, which continuously increases the market share of renewable energy.
The combination of different remuneration models reduces dependencies. If a marketing path develops weaker, other models compensate for this and stabilise the total returns over the life cycle of the assets.
Wide installation. Strong partners.
klimaVest also spreads among manufacturers and operators. The wind turbines and solar panels come from different companies. The fund also works with several service providers for operation and maintenance. This diversification reduces dependencies on individual actors.
If a supplier fails or a delivery is delayed, this has a lesser impact on the overall portfolio. Every manufacturer and operator brings their own strengths: in specific technologies, regions or specific types of plants. klimaVest benefits from this technical expertise in the selection and ongoing management of the systems.
Individual investors or smaller providers cannot achieve this size and diversification. As a product of the Commerz Real Group6, klimaVest benefits from over 54 years of experience with tangible assets and an established network in the renewable energy industry.
System manufacturers
From wind farms to photovoltaics and power grids.
Why wind, solar and grids?
klimaVest focuses on tried and tested technologies for renewable energy production. Onshore wind and photovoltaics form the foundation of the portfolio, supplemented by investments in electricity grids. These three areas are based on mature systems with proven long-term stability.
Wind power and photovoltaics produce the electricity. Electricity grids transport it from plants to consumers and stabilise the European energy system. All three areas are essential for the energy transition and offer concrete benefits for investors.
Long-term off-take agreements allow for predictable revenue over years. The technologies function independently of equity markets and therefore offer a low correlation with conventional asset classes. Its reliability has been proven over decades, and political support for the energy transition continues to drive market growth.
Battery storage systems are intended to supplement the portfolio in the long term. They are becoming more important as the share of renewable energy increases, as they compensate for fluctuations in power generation and increase grid stability. As soon as market maturity and return prospects meet the klimaVest investment criteria, it will invest in this technology.
