/WIESBADEN/MUNICH, GERMANY, March 11, 2025, 10:00 CET, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Commerz Real has acquired a solar project with building permit from the established German developer BayWa r.e. for its Klimavest fund. This project is located near Troyes in the Aube Department of Eastern France. It will cover an area of 42 hectares and have a power capacity of 47 MWp. Construction of the plant is already underway, with plans for completion and commissioning set for September 2025.

/LONDON, March 7, 2025, 9:00 GMT, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCH^TM/ This market report offers an incisive and reliable overview of the country's solar photovoltaic sector for the next long-term period, 2025 ÷ 2034. Romania is a country located at the crossroads of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe. It borders the Black Sea to the southeast, Bulgaria to the south, Ukraine to the north, Hungary to the west, Serbia to the southwest, and Moldova to the east. It has a predominantly temperate-continental climate. With a total area of 238,397 square kilometres (92,046 sq mi), Romania is the 12^th largest country and also the 7^th most populous member state of the European Union, having almost 20 million inhabitants. According to the latest market data, the Romanian solar PV market added almost 2 GW of newly installed capacity in 2024 and scored a remarkable 59 % increase compared to 2024. The cumulative installed PV capacity grew from 29 MW in 2012 to over 5,300 MW (5.3 GW) in 2024. After positive legal and regulatory changes from 2020 to 2023, the Romanian market has a good chance to add much more new solar PV capacity in the next years.

/LONDON, February 28, 2025, 11:30 GMT, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCH^TM/ France is among the best performers in Europe in the share of installed small-scale solar generation capacity (<1 MW). The French residential solar market is currently in a state of rapid growth. This growth is being driven by a number of factors, including rising electricity prices, the desire for energy independence, the increasing availability of financing options, and the growing popularity of solar battery storage systems. The current cumulative installed PV capacity in France grew up from 1 GW in 2010 to over 18.7 GW at the end of 2023. French prosumers have a wide range of governmental support mechanisms that either subsidise the adoption of flexible technologies or allow for direct monetisation of their assets. Current government plans and legislative changes show firm intentions to continue the existing support and increase solar self-consumption and the number of prosumers..

/MUNICH, GERMANY, February 24, 2025, 11:00 CET, BayWa r.e./ As announced in December 2024, the shareholders of BayWa r.e. (BayWa AG and Energy Infrastructure Partners (EIP)) have been negotiating a further strengthening of BayWa r.e’s capital base. This step is now being implemented, with EIP providing BayWa r.e. an additional EUR 150 million in capital, complementing its ongoing financial support. As a result, EIP, which has been invested in BayWa r.e. since 2021, will become the new majority shareholder of BayWa r.e. with a 65 per cent stake, while BayWa AG will retain 35 per cent.
