CIP Commits €155 Million to Expand MaxSolar’s German Solar and Storage Portfolio

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has provided a HoldCo debt package worth €155 million ($174.5 million) to MaxSolar, a developer and operator based in Traunstein, Germany, to accelerate the build-out of its renewable energy assets.

The capital will refinance MaxSolar’s existing 2023 obligations, fund the completion of projects currently under development, and support the acquisition of assets from the company’s own development pipeline. The portfolio targeted by the financing spans a combined capacity of 1.3 GW across solar generation and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

MaxSolar’s current asset base comprises 912 MW in solar projects, of which 440 MW are already operational, alongside 379 MW of standalone and co-located BESS capacity. Of the storage component, 25 MW of co-located systems are already online and providing grid balancing services.

The deal reflects MaxSolar’s broader strategic evolution. An earlier financing round in 2023 underpinned the company’s transition away from traditional development and EPC contracting toward establishing itself as a fully independent power producer (IPP).

CIP structured the transaction through its GMF II fund, a $3 billion vehicle that reached its final close in August 2026. According to the investor, the fund’s capital is expected to be fully deployed across green infrastructure projects within two years.
