Amprion GmbH has successfully secured €1 billion through a green dual-tranche bond offering, reinforcing its financial strength as a key enabler of Germany’s energy transition. Issued under its €9 billion debt programme, the bond will fund sustainable infrastructure that supports the country’s goal of a climate-neutral electricity grid. The offering was split equally into two tranches: a €500 million 4.5-year note with a 3.000% coupon, and a €500 million 11-year note at 3.875%.
Strong investor demand—particularly from ESG-focused institutions—highlighted growing confidence in Amprion’s long-term sustainable strategy. CFO Peter Rüth noted that successful market access was essential for financing Germany’s energy shift, emphasizing the robust investor backing as a sign of trust in Amprion’s business model and growth outlook.
The bond proceeds will be allocated in accordance with Amprion’s Green Finance Framework, which adheres to the ICMA Green Bond Principles and has been independently verified by ESG rating agency Sustainalytics. This ensures transparency and alignment with global sustainability standards.
The green issuance also broadened Amprion’s investor base, strengthening its capital market profile and diversifying funding sources. The bonds carry expected investment-grade ratings: Baa1 from Moody’s and A- from Fitch, in line with the company’s stable credit outlook. Joint lead managers for the transaction included major European banks such as Commerzbank, UniCredit, ING, and SEB.
