Grünwald near Munich/Madrid, 11 March 2025 – SOLUTIO AG, a leading provider of innovative investment concepts for institutional investors, has entered into a strategic partnership with Alantra Solar, the renewable energy-focused strategy of Alantra, a global financial services firm specialized in investment banking and alternative asset management services. The goal of this joint venture is to launch a renewable energy fund in 2025, classified as an Article 9 fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), with a target volume of between €500 million and €1 billion.

The planned fund will directly invest in solar energy and energy storage projects in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. It will primarily finance projects that make a significant contribution to Europe’s energy transition and align with the goals of the EU’s “REPowerEU” and “Green Deal” programs, including the recently announced Green Deal Industrial Plan.

“With this partnership, we are taking a major step towards sustainable energy investments. Combining our expertise with Alantra Solar’s enables us to create a fund that pursues both ecological and economic goals,” says Robert Massing, Managing Partner of SOLUTIO AG.

Alantra Solar has extensive experience in renewable energy. Since its inception in 2021, Alantra Solar has financed projects with a total capacity of 5.2 gigawatts and invested over €1 billion in photovoltaic systems. To date, it has successfully launched four funds. Alantra Solar’s team of 20 professionals operates from offices in Madrid and Milan. Alantra’s broader team comprises more than 600 employees working out of 20 offices across 18 countries.

“Partnering with SOLUTIO AG allows us to further expand our expertise in renewable energy and jointly establish a fund that meets the high standards of an Article 9 classification,” says Javier Mellado, CEO and Partner of Alantra Solar.

The planned fund will offer institutional investors the opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of renewable energy projects, benefiting from both attractive returns and positive environmental impact.
