Energiekontor reaches financial close for Kolitzheim-Herlheim solar project and continues to advance its project portfolio

Bremen, 28 July 2026 – Energiekontor AG (“Energiekontor”), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks based in Bremen and listed in the General Standard, has reached financial close for the Kolitzheim-Herlheim solar park project. Financing for the project is therefore secured and construction of the solar park can begin. The solar park will have an installed capacity of around eleven megawatt peak. Commissioning is scheduled for the first half of 2027. At the same time, Energiekontor continues to make progress with its extensive project portfolio.

The Kolitzheim-Herlheim solar park is being developed in the municipality of Kolitzheim in the district of Schweinfurt in Bavaria, Germany. Financial close was preceded by the conclusion of a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with EHA Energie-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH & Co. KG to supply dm stores with electricity from the solar park. The agreement has a term of ten years and secures the long-term marketing of the electricity generated outside government support schemes.

With the financial close of Kolitzheim-Herlheim, Energiekontor is also maintaining the strong momentum in the implementation of its project portfolio. A total of 20 projects with a combined generation capacity of around 609 megawatts are currently under construction, including eight projects with around 227 megawatts intended for Energiekontor’s own portfolio.

Completion of the wind park projects in Germany that were sold on a turnkey basis last year is also progressing according to plan. Following the successful commissioning and handover of the Drensteinfurt-Rieth wind park in June 2026, the two wind parks Elsdorf-Frankeshoven and Elsdorf-Tollhausen, with a combined generation capacity of around 40 megawatts, are set to follow. Upon successful commissioning and handover, the corresponding earnings contributions are expected to be recognised as planned in the second half of 2026.

“By reaching financial close, we have created the conditions to move the Kolitzheim-Herlheim solar park into the construction phase and deliver the project without government support. At the same time, we continue to make good progress with the implementation of our extensive project portfolio. Following the successful commissioning and handover of Drensteinfurt-Rieth, the two wind parks in Elsdorf, which have already been sold on a turnkey basis, are also set to follow later this year. We therefore expect further earnings contributions from projects already sold in Germany,” says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG.
