Financing
ABO Wind is experienced in international financing for renewable energy
projects and in diverse financing forms for surplus and credit capital.
Building upon our many years of planning experience and in cooperation
with domestic and international banks, ABO Wind structures investments
either individually or to gain additional value, within the context of
larger portfolios.
ABO Wind acquires projects in all stages of the planning process
and because of its own financial resources is able to speedily conclude
the planning phase and the sale of the projects thereafter.
Substantial added-value can be gained within the financing stage by
combining projects in portfolios that vastly increase the profitability
of investments.
Commercially competent and open for advanced financing forms, ABO
Wind together with banks and investors, has initiated innovative
financing concepts in the renewable energy resources sector.

Mezzanine
In order to expand financing frameworks, ABO Wind developed in
2004 the possibility of issuing several profit participating
certificates (bonus share). The profit participating certificate has a
maturity of 5 years and an interest rate of 8 percent that is
guaranteed by ABO Wind. Floatation is concluded. top
Preps
In 2005, ABO Wind AG was able to participate in the mezzanine
program PREPS, which was initiated by the HVB. After a successful audit
to assess creditworthiness, the company along with 50 other firms from
other branches, was given a 7-year subordinate loan on favourable
terms. top
Biogas Bonds
Biogasfonds „Sachsen-Anhalt“ (biogas bonds) sold within a few days.
Biogasfonds Sachsen-Anhalt is one of the first bonds of its kind in
Germany. The bonds were a great success and were sold within a
few days. The bonds were used to finance three biogas plants. The
three plants, with a total installed capacity of 1,4 megawatts were
connected to the power network in the fall of 2005. Plans are underway
to issue more mutual funds in order to finance new biogas plants in
2007. top
Breeze Two
The company was able to finance and sell wind farms with a total
capacity of 83 megawatts in a single deal. With “Breeze Two“, a wind
farm portfolio with a total of 330 megawatts of installed capacity
pooled and financed as a result of a cooperation between various German
wind farm developers. top
