aream Press release

Finally some good news from the German wind energy sector: the number of contracts awarded in the latest round of tenders for onshore turbines climbed to a record high. "However, the good figures conceal the fact that it is still taking too long to process the tenders and that the awards are distributed very differently from region to region," comments Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

The aream Group's investment team has been strengthened with two new additions: Janek Bormann and Florian Niehues started as investment analysts on 1 July.

aream Group and Triodos Bank Germany are working together with immediate effect to finance photovoltaic projects in the commercial sector. aream will take over the construction, operation and marketing of the systems, while Triodos Bank will provide the financing. "Medium-sized customers in particular can now tackle their own PV projects", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "Until now, the effort involved in financing was often very high."

The ECB has taken a first step towards lower interest rates. This is a good signal for investors in renewable energies. "It's not just that the cost of financing is falling, which is fuelling investment activity," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "Bonds also tend to be less attractive now, which is diverting money into renewables."
