The subject of the third transaction of the Polish Green Fund (PGF) is the acquisition of five biogas plants, their expansion, and the potential conversion into biomethane plants. PGF’s total financial commitment to the project will amount to PLN 55 million.
PGF, managed by ARP TFI, will invest PLN 55 million in a project involving the acquisition and development of five biogas plants located in several regions of Poland. In the future, the installations may be expanded to include biomethane production, which could supply the domestic industrial sector.
The project is being carried out in cooperation with Neo Bio Energy – one of the largest biogas plant operators in Poland. As part of the investment, a holding company will be established to manage project companies responsible for the individual installations. The total value of the project amounts to approximately PLN 233 million. The acquisition process for all the biogas plants has already begun.
Foundations for the development of the polish biogas market
“Another investment by the Polish Green Fund in biogas plants demonstrates that we are consistently implementing our strategy of building a green portfolio based on real and proven projects. Neo Bio Energy is a partner with an unquestionable market position and extensive operational experience. Together, we are laying the foundations for the development of the Polish biogas market, which has the potential to become an important pillar of our energy sector,” says Michał Handzlik, President of ARP TFI.
He emphasizes that PLN 116 million within this transaction comes from bank financing, which signals that financial institutions recognize the potential and maturity of this type of project. “We are not only providing capital but, above all, opening the door for further investors, showing that the green transition can be economically effective,” he adds.
The agreement signed on March 3rd is evidence of the consistent implementation of PGF’s investment strategy, focused on renewable energy sources and the energy transformation of the Polish economy.
