BayWa r.e. Strengthens Financial Position with €3 Billion Package, Eyes Global IPP Expansion

BayWa r.e. has secured a comprehensive refinancing package totaling approximately €3 billion, ensuring funding stability through mid-2029. The package includes bank loans, shareholder loans, and operational guarantees, and incorporates the €435 million in additional funding announced earlier this year. This long-term financial backing reflects strong confidence from shareholders and financial partners in BayWa r.e.’s future. BayWa AG retains a 51% majority stake in the company, while Energy Infrastructure Partners (EIP), holding 49%, brings deep sector expertise to support the business model transformation. “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 BayWa r.e.’s CRO Hans-Joachim Ziems.

With this strengthened financial position, BayWa r.e. will continue to advance its strategy as a leading global Independent Power Producer (IPP), focusing on the development, construction, and operation of wind, solar, and battery storage projects. The company also remains active in energy trading and asset management. While plans to divest the solar trading business are still in place for the medium term, it continues to play a strategic role. BayWa r.e. remains committed to expanding in renewable energy markets with strong regulatory environments and high growth potential.
