The transmission grid operator Amprion GmbH (“Amprion”) has entered into a €750m long-term syndicated loan to finance its operations and the redistribution mechanism under the EEG (German Renewable Energies Act). The new credit facility refinances a financing originally taken out in 2011 upon the separation of Amprion
from the RWE group..

Hengeler Mueller advised Amprion in the context of the refinancing as on the original transaction in 2011. The Hengeler Mueller team included partners Thomas O. Cron
and Nikolaus Vieten as well as associates Sabine Albrecht (all Financing, Frankfurt) and Sebastian Schneider (Energy, Berlin).
