Renewable energies are having a record year in 2020, and green electricity is in demand as never before. Institutional investors in particular are getting on board. "From a risk perspective, investments in renewable energies have become increasingly attractive", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "That's because the more plants that are on the grid, the more a portfolio can be diversified and fluctuations are smoothed out."

Renewable energy investments have become an indispensable part of the investment mix, especially for institutional investors. Whereas at the beginning of this megatrend the focus was primarily on investments in individual plants, now the focus is primarily on investments in energy types and locations via diversified portfolios just like early entry into cleantech start-ups. "The next and most profitable step is investing in the project development phase", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group.

The new U.S. administration under President Joe Biden is starting out with big plans for sustainability. The Democrats also want to drive forward the expansion of renewable energies. "A lot of money will flow into this area, but for European investors the segment is not attractive, at least not yet", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

At the end of 2021, a new solar park with a total capacity of 21 megawatts, including a transformer station, is to be connected to the grid in Germany. This is being developed by the Clean Energy Future Fund of aream GmbH together with NaGa Solar. “A special feature of this project is that the electricity will be marketed via direct purchase contracts”, says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group.
