EnBW Green Bond Impact Report 2020

“We continue to focus on expansion in renewables. Issuing green bonds is therefore a logical continuation of our corporate strategy.”


Thomas Kusterer, CFO

Dear reader,

Since autumn 2018, we have financed renewable energy projects with green bonds for a total of €2 billion. The proceeds from the 2020 green subordinated bond issue were used entirely to refinance the acquisition of Valeco, the French wind power and solar company. We used most of the proceeds from the 2018 and 2019 bond issues in our offshore wind power business, for the Hohe See and Albatros wind farms. In addition, we invest in onshore wind, e-mobility and solar power projects.

We invest the proceeds from our green bonds in expanding renewables. These include onshore wind power, offshore wind power and photovoltaics. We are also pressing ahead with the expansion of charging infrastructure for electric mobility.
