greenValue GmbH (opm) – 2.14 billion euros listed investment volume, environmental and renewable energy investments increase in the first quarter of 2010
[Nuremberg, March 12, 2010] According to research by greenValue GmbH, the investment volume of environmental and renewable energy investments is currently 2.14 billion euros. This includes closed funds (around 1.6 billion euros) and fixed-interest securities such as profit participation rights. 61 investments (closed funds and fixed-interest securities) are available to interested subscribers. “More than 65% of the investment volume of closed funds can be attributed to photovoltaic investments,” explains Daniel Kellermann, Managing Director of greenValue GmbH, explaining the market distribution.The trend towards more and large-volume photovoltaic investments continues. Almost all funds realize single- or double-digit megawatt (peak) outputs. Two thirds of all solar funds are realized in Germany, the other funds invest in other European countries, for example in Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic. Photovoltaic investments are almost exclusively offered as limited partnership investments. The terms are between 10 and 20 years, sometimes up to 25 years. The average minimum investment for solar funds is around 12,000 euros. In comparison, the average minimum holding for green closed-end funds and fixed-interest securities is just under 10,000 euros. An overview of current environmental and renewable energy investments can be found at www.greenvalue.de.
As a platform for institutional investors and project providers, greenValue GmbH expanded its information portal to include the international project exchange in 2009. “The aim of the platform is to bring investors and project providers into conversation with each other and to initiate the realization of as many projects as possible,” says Daniel Kellermann. On the one hand, “international project network” enables projects to be presented at all stages of development. On the other hand, it is possible to submit requests for corresponding projects in Germany, Europe and worldwide. For example, agricultural, photovoltaic and wind energy projects are currently represented. The booking duration of the project requests and bids can be selected between 1 and 12 months. Inquiries from interested parties are generated via an email contact form and forwarded to the advertisers.
