Aukera, a pan-European renewable energy developer and Independent Power Producer (IPP), has successfully secured senior financing totaling EUR 14 million from Volksbank Sauerland eG for its Erisweiler I and II photovoltaic projects, with a combined capacity of 37.48 MW. This transaction marks Aukera Energy’s first project financing in Germany for solar PV and underscores the company’s commitment to building a long-term renewable energy portfolio in the country. Capcora acted as the exclusive financial advisor for the transaction.
“This financing represents a significant milestone for Aukera Energy as we advance our first projects in the German market,” said Kemal Keskin, Managing Director Germany at Aukera Energy. “We are delighted to partner with Volksbank Sauerland eG, a trusted regional banking institution, as we establish our long-term presence in Germany.”
Alexander Enrique Kuhn, Managing Partner at Capcora, added: “We are proud to support Aukera Energy in its debut project financing in Germany. While larger, more flexible debt structures are gaining traction, the importance of cultivating strong relationships with local and regional banks for traditional project financing should not be underestimated.”
This successful transaction highlights the strength of the collaboration between Aukera and Capcora and sets the stage for future joint efforts to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy across Germany.
