• €1B green bond issuance strengthens Amprion’s position in financing Germany’s shift to climate-neutral electricity.
• Strong investor demand highlights growing confidence in Amprion’s sustainable business model.
• Proceeds to fund climate-aligned infrastructure under a framework verified by Sustainalytics.

Amprion GmbH has raised €1 billion through a green dual-tranche bond, reinforcing its commitment to building a climate-neutral electricity transmission grid in Germany.

Issued under its €9 billion debt issuance programme, the green bond attracted high demand from sustainability-focused investors. The offering was split into two tranches:

• A €500 million tranche with a 4.5-year maturity and a 3.000% coupon, and
• A €500 million tranche with an 11-year maturity and a 3.875% coupon.

“The successful access to the capital market is an important prerequisite for financing the energy transition in Germany,” said Peter Rüth, CFO of Amprion. “The positive response underscores investors’ confidence in our sustainable business model and our growth path.”

Amprion will allocate the proceeds exclusively to sustainable infrastructure aligned with its Green Finance Framework, developed in line with the Green Bond Principles and validated by ESG ratings firm Sustainalytics.

Joint lead managers for the transaction included Bayerische Landesbank, Commerzbank, DZ BANK AG, ING, Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, SEB, and UniCredit.
