Amprion Secures €6.5 Billion Green Credit Facility

Amprion GmbH, a major European transmission system operator, has successfully signed a €6.5 billion “Energiewende Green Revolving Credit Facility”. This move marks a substantial increase from its previous €3.2 billion syndicated loan. The new credit facility, involving 15 banks, underlines Amprion's commitment to green financing and expanding its investment capacity.

The facility, with an initial five-year tenor and two optional one-year extensions, includes key financial partners such as Bayerische Landesbank, Commerzbank, and BNP Paribas. It also features a €2 billion incremental facility option, reflecting Amprion’s financial strategy aligned with EU Taxonomy sustainability standards.

This strategic financial expansion supports Amprion's grid business investments and underscores its role in the energy transition. CFO Peter Rüth highlighted the facility's importance in enhancing financial flexibility and sustainability-driven financing initiatives.
