Pacifico Energy Partners and Volksbank Mittelhessen establish a joint venture to develop renewable energy projects in Germany and the Netherlands.

The joint venture will initially start with the development of photovoltaic projects with a capacity of approximately 130 MWp. Further portfolio growth is envisaged in the short term and can go beyond the development of photovoltaic projects.

Pacifico’s extensive experience in renewable energy project development will be utilized to identify and develop projects for the joint venture. Volksbank Mittelhessen will finance the joint undertaking as well as contribute its know-how in realizing renewable energy projects.

„We are excited to work with Volksbank Mittelhessen to advance the development of renewable energy projects in Germany and the Netherlands,” said Jannik Hoffmann, Chief Financial Officer of Pacifico. „Our joint venture combines Pacifico’s extensive expertise in renewable energy with Volksbank Mittelhessen’s strong financial competence, enabling us to make a significant contribution to the energy transition.”

“By investing in renewable energy production, we can contribute to securing and expanding the energy supply of the future. This is an important part of our sustainability strategy and our goal to best support our members,” says Volksbank spokesman of the management board, Dr. Lars Witteck. “We are pleased that with Pacifico we have found an experienced and reliable partner with whom we can work towards achieving these objectives.”

Herbert Smith Freehills (Pacifico) and Schiedermair (Volksbank Mittelhessen) acted as legal advisors.
