KfW IPEX-Bank provides financing for EV charging infrastructure in Europe

• EUR 40 million contribution of KfW IPEX-Bank
• KfW IPEX-Bank’s first financing for electric vehicle charging infrastructure

KfW IPEX-Bank contributes EUR 40 million to EUR 400 million of debt facilities in compliance with Green Loan Principles raised by Allego. Allego is a leading pan-European charge-point operator. With the funding Allego will fulfill a substantial pipeline of contracts and expand their network of ultra-fast EV chargers across key sites in primarily Germany, France & Benelux.

“We are proud to announce our first financing for electric vehicle charging infrastructure,” says Andreas Ufer, member of the Management Board of KfW IPEX-Bank. “Being an early mover in this nascent asset class fits very well with our long-standing practice to finance environmental and climate change mitigation projects worldwide.”

The credit facility supports electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Europe - a segment currently substantially underserved across all geographies and representing a critical foundational pillar of the transition to net-zero mobility. Societe Generale acted as Structuring Bank and Agent, and Societe Generale and Banco Santander served as the Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners on this facility.
