EnBW, a major energy group in Germany, recently executed a groundbreaking capital injection of 3.1 billion euros, the largest in Europe for the year. This was achieved through a rights issue structured to involve existing shareholders, reaching an impressive participation rate of 98.9%. The capital raise was strategically supported by major shareholders and municipal associations, showcasing confidence in EnBW's long-term corporate strategy. Notably, the transaction costs were drastically reduced to 0.1% of the proceeds due to firm subscription commitments and a concise 11-page prospectus. EnBW's investment plan of up to 50 billion euros from 2024 to 2030 focuses on expanding renewable energy sources, hydrogen-capable power plants, and electric mobility infrastructure.
