SUMMARY

  • Terra One, a German grid-scale battery storage developer, has raised up to €150 million in mezzanine financing from Aviva Investors. Combined with equity and project financing, this capital will allow Terra One to invest up to €750 million in new storage assets.

This will allow the company to achieve a total capacity of about 3 GWh, enough to power roughly 20% of German households for one hour.

“This financing is a milestone for Terra One and for the energy transition in Europe,” said Tony Schumacher Founder and CEO of Terra One. “With Aviva Investors at our side, we can accelerate the expansion of large-scale battery storage significantly. In doing so we are making a decisive contribution to security of supply and making Europe’s energy system more independent and resilient. At the same time, the hybrid financing structure gives us the flexibility and scalability we need to establish Terra One as one of the leading independent storage developers in Europe.”
