In the spring of 2024, the Ranft Group —which specializes in renewable energy—issued the “Ranft Solar Bond 2024” (ISIN: DE000A351198) through its subsidiary Ranft Green Energie GmbH, with a total volume of up to 15 million euros. The solar bond, which has a five-year term, pays an annual interest rate of 7.00%. We asked Managing Director Rainer Zepke how the Ranft Group’s projects have fared since the bond’s issuance.  

Bond Finder: Dear Mr. Zepke, how is business currently going for the Ranft Group? How did the company perform in 2024?

Rainer Zepke: Development proceeded exceptionally well and according to plan. In the photovoltaic sector, we were able to bring a total project volume of approximately 30 million EUR to fruition in Germany alone with the “Riedenheim,” “Oranienbaum,” and “Pirna” solar parks, while simultaneously adding approximately 31 MW of capacity. Our project pipeline in Germany has been expanded to over 400 MW, and we are particularly pleased that in Austria—where we have a total of 166 MW in project volume under development—we have brought our first project to the construction stage.
