Strategic collaboration for the energy transition

Redevco, one of Europe’s largest private real estate investment managers with assets under management of around €10.5 billion, has entered into a strategic partnership with GIGA.GREEN to drive the energy transition within its own portfolio.

36 retail sites in focus

The cooperation already covers 36 retail properties across Germany, where large-scale photovoltaic systems are to be installed on the rooftops to supply tenants directly with locally generated power. By concluding on-site PPA agreements for power purchase, the sites will be supplied with green electricity directly and over the long term – a crucial step toward reducing energy costs in a predictable way and meeting sustainability targets.

Redevco: Securing the future viability of the portfolio

Christoph Buck, Head of Asset Management RWP at Redevco, explains:

“With this partnership with GIGA.GREEN, we are strengthening the energy efficiency and future viability of our portfolio in a targeted and long-term manner. In the end, it’s a win-win-win for our investors, tenants, and the environment. This way, we as a company are also making a contribution to the energy transition and greater sustainability.”

GIGA.GREEN: Trust in expertise and execution capability

Robin Nowak, Vice President Commercial at GIGA.GREEN, adds:

“With Redevco, we have gained a partner who will play a key role in advancing the energy transition in existing buildings in the coming years. Starting with 36 projects at once demonstrates the trust placed in our expertise and ability to deliver.”
