| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 2018 | Undisclosed stage | Elia Group | $1.2B | $6B | Elia Group announced on March 23, 2018, its decision to acquire an additional 20% stake in Eurogrid, the holding company of 50Hertz Transmission GmbH, increasing its ownership from 60% to 80%. The transaction price was €976.5 million, financed via 70% hybrid and 30% senior debt, and was expected to close in Q2 2018 subject to regulatory approval. This followed Elia's 2010 acquisition of a 60% stake for an enterprise value of €486 million. 50Hertz is one of Germany's four transmission system operators, responsible for the extra-high-voltage grid in the northeast and east, supporting the Energiewende with high investments in grid infrastructure for renewable energy integration. The deal aimed to strengthen collaboration between Elia and 50Hertz, forming a leading group of European TSOs, with Elia entitled to fully consolidate 50Hertz post-transaction. Post-2018 financials show 50Hertz Transmission with 2018 revenues of €1,364.9 million and EBITDA of €475.0 million, up slightly from 2017's €1,330.2 million and €472.4 million, driven by CAPEX programs offset by lower pass-through costs. No specific 2018 valuation, revenue/ARR, or EBITDA figures near the March round date were provided in sources. |
