Encavis Asset Management acquires solar park in Spain with a total capacity of 56.3 megawatts for EIF II special fund

Neubiberg/Munich, January 12, 2022. Encavis Asset Management AG (Encavis AM), subsidiary of SDAX-listed wind and solar park operator Encavis AG (Prime Standard, ISIN: DE0006095003, ticker symbol: ECV) makes first investment in Spain with acquisition of the solar park Archidona in the province of Málaga (Andalusia).

The ground-mounted photovoltaic system will supply 40,400 households with green electricity and save 25,600 tonnes of harmful CO₂ per year. For the first time in Encavis' asset management, the sale of energy generated by the facility has been secured through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). The solar park is currently under construction and is scheduled to go online in March 2022. It was developed and realised by the global renewable energy company BayWa r.e.

The acquisition will be incorporated into the Encavis Infrastructure Fund II (EIF II) special fund, which is marketed exclusively by Bayern LB. The fund is aimed at banks and lenders - predominantly savings banks and cooperative banks - which attach great importance to stable cash flows from their investments and bank-specific reporting KPIs.

"We have been advising our fund investors on the acquisition of numerous wind and solar parks in the past few months," said Karsten Mieth, Spokesman of the Management Board of Encavis Asset Management AG. "This investment marks our first foray into the Spanish renewables market, which is one of the fastest growing in Europe. Our special fund has expanded and diversified its portfolio with the addition of another attractive region."

Matthias Taft, CEO of BayWa r.e., comments: "We are pleased to realise our fifth solar park in Spain and be able to continue our successful partnership with Encavis Asset Management AG. With the PPA already in place with AB InBev, the world leading brewer, to power its European breweries with renewable electricity and to make a significant step towards its sustainability goals, this is a highlight project for all parties involved".
