DateStageInvestorsRaisedDeal Summary
Mar 2026SecondaryAllianz Global Investors-Allianz Global Investors announced on 26 March 2026 that it had signed an agreement, on behalf of Allianz insurance companies and the Allianz European Infrastructure Fund II, to acquire an indirect stake in the German electricity transmission system operator Amprion. The seller is Talanx, one of the institutional investors that sits inside M31 Beteiligungsgesellschaft, the consortium holding 74.9% of Amprion. Neither the size of the stake nor the price was disclosed in the announcement, and completion was expected during the second quarter of 2026. The investment gives Allianz exposure to a regulated German grid asset with a long-dated, index-linked revenue base at a time when Amprion is scaling up capital expenditure. Amprion operates the extra-high-voltage grid across seven German federal states and is investing heavily to connect renewable generation and to build new north-south transmission corridors. The transaction is a secondary purchase of existing shares rather than new money raised by Amprion itself.
Dec 2025Undisclosed stageRWE; Apollo Global Management$2.6BAmprion announced on 15 December 2025 that its shareholders had subscribed EUR 2.2 billion of new equity capital. The subscribers were M31 Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH und Co. Energie KG, the consortium of German institutional investors that holds 74.9% of the company, and RWE Alkaios Holding GmbH, a joint venture between RWE AG and Apollo Global Management that holds the remaining 25.1%. The injection was substantially larger than the EUR 850 million raised a year earlier and reflected a sharp increase in Amprion's investment plan for the German transmission grid. Amprion is one of Germany's four transmission system operators and runs the extra-high-voltage network across seven federal states from the North Sea to the Alps, serving an area with about 29 million people. The company is expanding onshore and offshore grid connections and building new north to south direct current corridors to move wind power to industrial demand centres. Its earnings are regulated and tied to a rapidly growing asset base, which reached EUR 16.5 billion at the end of 2025. RWE agreed six months later to buy a further indirect 35% of Amprion from M31 shareholders.
Dec 2024Undisclosed stageRWE$880MAmprion announced on 18 December 2024 an equity capital increase of EUR 850 million, subscribed by its existing shareholders on a pro-rata basis according to their holdings at the time. RWE held an indirect 25.1% interest in Amprion and participated alongside the M31 consortium of German institutional investors, which held the remaining 74.9%. The proceeds were earmarked for Amprion's grid expansion programme, which the company was then raising sharply in response to the German energy transition and the need to connect large volumes of onshore and offshore renewable generation. Chief financial officer Peter Rueth described the equity injections as being in line with the shareholders' long-term agreement and as enabling the company to press ahead with its investment plans. Amprion is one of Germany's four transmission system operators and runs the extra-high-voltage grid across seven federal states from the North Sea to the Alps, an area home to roughly 29 million people. The company is headquartered in Dortmund and earns regulated returns on its transmission asset base.
