Business cases

Green City Energy

Munich-based renewable energy company

Challenges

Since 1995, Green City Energy has been developing, financing and operating renewable energy projects. Uniquely, from the beginning it relied on ’crowd funding’ to develop.

Green City Energy was originally focused solely on German projects. In a context of constantly changing regulatory conditions governing renewable energies and the associated uncertainties, the expansion of activities in other European countries was a necessary challenge. This meant being able to do enough projects in the long run and becoming more independent of any particular country's market fluctuations.

Approach

In 2009, Victanis contacted Green City Energy in order to help them seize the opportunities that the French market was offering at the time and to rapidly establish some presence in France. After conducting thorough market and competition studies, Victanis devised a suitable market-entry strategy for France and was then tasked by Green City Energy with its operational implementation. This lead to the creation and development of a French subsidiary based in Toulouse, with the aim of acquiring, developing and operating French renewable energy projects for the German parent company
Victanis has been managing the French subsidiary of Green City Energy since its creation after having invested financially in its development (co-owner).

Results

After its successful creation, the French subsidiary Green City Energy France has become a significant player in the French market and has been able to acquire numerous photovoltaic and hydroelectric projects.
From now on, the French projects are an integral part of the Green City Energy funds and have contributed significantly to the history of Green City Energy.
After a couple of challenging years, the French renewable energy market has become much more mature and still offers good prospects for future development within a much more stable legal framework.

We've been working closely with Victanis for many years, they've convinced us to venture into France and they kept their word when they told us in 2009 "we will build your business in France". I especially value the entrepreneurial spirit, the commitment, operational strength and the high professionalism of Victanis. Even in a difficult market environment, they have always found new and creative solutions.

CEO - Green City Energy

We have worked a long time with Victanis. With their strategic vision, expertise and market knowledge coupled with an excellent network, Victanis has become an important part of our business development. Especially, it is important for me as Chief Financial Officer that Victanis are not only successful in the project acquisition for us, but also in the financing of the projects and in the control of the funds allocated to each of them.

CFO - Green City Energy

I must say we had a very efficient and smooth interaction with Victanis in the context of the financing of Green City Energy AG by Eiffel Energy Transition Fund. Thanks to the professionalism and know-how of Victanis both in the fields of renewable energy and finance, we could focus on the relevant issues in a timely and efficient manner.
