Amprion GmbH successfully completes €850 million capital increase

As planned, Amprion received additional equity capital totalling €850 million from its existing shareholders. All existing shareholders participated in this transaction on a pro-rata basis to their stakes.

The equity injection strengthens Amprion’s solid financing as planned and serves to implement the rapidly growing investments in the electricity grid. It is fully in line with the transmission system operator’s long-term plans.

Amprion is pursuing an ambitious investment programme to implement the energy transition in Germany. The key prerequisites for this growth are a further development of the regulatory framework and a market-driven return on capital in the coming years.

“The smooth and long-planned equity increase once again demonstrates the trust our long-standing shareholders have placed in Amprion and our business plan over the years,” says Peter Rüth, CFO of Amprion. “The equity injections are in line with our joint long?term agreement and enable us to press ahead with our ambitious investment plans to expand the transmission grid. We are in close dialogue with the regulator to create the conditions that will enable us to continue to compete for capital on an international scale in the future as well.”
