Feldwerke has secured a €12 million revolving credit facility from a French renewable energy debt fund to speed up the rollout of its agri-photovoltaic projects across Europe.
The funding will help the company build nearly 100 MW of new capacity over the next 18 months. Founded in 2023 by Nicolai Reiners, Nils Kuchenbuch, and Marco Mielenz, Feldwerke develops solar systems that allow farming and renewable energy production to operate on the same land.
The company focuses on open-field agri-PV infrastructure designed to support agricultural work while generating clean electricity. By combining both activities, the model improves land use compared to traditional solar farms. Feldwerke handles the full process, including planning, construction, and project deployment, while working closely with local communities and municipalities.
In just over two years, the company has already installed more than 20 MW of capacity. Its portfolio includes one of the largest agri-PV projects in southern Germany, located in Oberndorf am Lech.
Agri-photovoltaics is becoming a fast-growing sector across Europe as governments and investors search for land-efficient renewable energy solutions. The approach supports clean energy targets while allowing farmland to remain productive. Germany has become one of the leading markets for agrivoltaics due to strong renewable energy goals and rising investor interest.
Speaking about the new financing, CEO Nils Kuchenbuch said the deal shows growing confidence from institutional investors in agri-PV infrastructure. He added that the revolving structure will help the company expand its project portfolio quickly while maintaining efficient use of capital.
The funding will be used to support Feldwerke’s construction pipeline and allow several projects to move forward at the same time. The revolving facility also gives the company the ability to reuse capital as projects are completed and connected to the grid.
Feldwerke currently manages around 50 projects with a combined pipeline of more than 400 MW. Around 100 MW is already in advanced planning or construction stages. The company is aiming to reach 1 GW of installed capacity by 2030 as it expands its presence in the European agrivoltaics market.
