RE Royalties Brings the Royalty Model to the Energy Industry In a financing environment that is particularly complex for smaller renewable energy providers, RE Royalties positions itself as a partner that combines the best of both worlds. Instead of operating its own facilities, the company provides project developers with capital for the construction or expansion of their facilities. In return, RE Royalties secures a perc

An opinion piece by Mario Hose ( Apaton Finance GmbH). RE provides capital for green energy projects and, in return, receives a share of the revenue - a so-called royalty. What makes RE Royalties so attractive is the fact that they combine the best of both worlds. They participate directly in the success of renewable energy but do not bear the operational risks of a plant operator. If a gearbox breaks down or maintenance costs rise, that is the operator's problem, not RE Roya

An opinion piece by Fabian Lorenz ( Apaton Finance GmbH). In the renewable energy sector, RE Royalties has an interesting and perhaps even unique business model. As is common in mining, projects are financed under a royalty model. The loans are often repaid within a few years, and the capital is then available to RE Royalties for new investments. The royalty payments, on the other hand, run for 20 years or more. The company targets projects in proven renewable technologies, i

An opinion piece by Nico Popp ( Apaton Finance GmbH). The Canadian company acts as a specialist financier of the energy transition and has successfully transferred the royalty model familiar from the mining industry to green technologies. Instead of operating its own plants or bearing the operational risks of maintenance and decommissioning, RE Royalties provides capital to project developers. In return, the company secures a percentage share of the gross revenues of the resp

An opinion piece by André Will-Laudien ( Apaton Finance GmbH). RE Royalties Ltd. operates with a financing approach that is still rare in the energy sector. The company acquires revenue-based royalty interests in renewable energy projects instead of acting as an operator itself. In doing so, it applies the royalty principle familiar from the raw materials industry to solar, wind, hydro, and storage projects. Project developers receive non-dilutive capital, while RE Royalties

An opinion piece by Mario Hose ( Apaton Finance GmbH). RE Royalties relies on a force that is always available: renewable energy (wind, water, and sun). The best thing about it is the way they do it. They do not grant traditional loans, nor do they constantly dilute their partners' equity. They use a royalty model that was previously more common in the commodities industry. They finance projects and receive a share of the revenue in return. This is ingenious because it gives

An opinion piece by Nico Popp ( Apaton Finance GmbH). RE Royalties plans to push ahead with its expansion in the US market in 2026. A key project is the far-reaching partnership with Solaris Energy, in which RE Royalties is investing a total of USD 9 million in portfolios for decentralized solar power plants. An initial portfolio consists of 15 projects in states such as California and Maine, many of which are already nearing commercial commissioning. This focus on decentrali

An opinion piece by Fabian Lorenz ( Apaton Finance GmbH). RE Royalties has established a business model that is perhaps unique in the industry. The focus is on financing projects in the field of renewable energy and storage systems. To this end, the company has transferred the royalty model known from mining to its industry. Project developers receive capital from RE Royalties without giving up shares. The loans are often repaid within a few years, and the capital is availabl

An opinion piece by Armin Schulz ( Apaton Finance GmbH). Vancouver-based financing company RE Royalties is consistently pushing ahead with its expansion in the American solar market. With a second investment tranche of USD 800,000, the total investment in the partnership with developer Solaris Energy, which began in January, now amounts to USD 3.8 million. The total volume of the agreement is up to USD 9 million for two project portfolios with decentralized solar power plants

An opinion piece by Nico Popp ( Apaton Finance GmbH). The Canadian company has transferred a financing model from the raw materials sector to renewable energy. Instead of operating wind or solar parks itself and having to deal with maintenance or weather risks, RE Royalties finances project developers and, in return, receives a share of sales in the form of a royalty. The model impresses with its simplicity and robustness. A key advantage is the share in what are known as "to

An opinion piece by Fabian Lorenz ( Apaton Finance GmbH). It is no secret that electricity is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity in the US. The operators of data centers for the AI boom are dependent on electricity. The construction of new capacity can hardly keep pace, and then there are the outdated grids. Decentralized sources are therefore in high demand. In conjunction with ever-improving storage technology, solar is also an option. Especially since the capacity c

An opinion piece by Fabian Lorenz ( Apaton Finance GmbH). Did you miss out on the AI energy boom with stocks such as Siemens Energy, Nordex, or GE Vernova? A latecomer in this field is AI beneficiary and dividend gem RE Royalties. Given the company's positioning, the limited market attention is striking. With its focus on renewable energy and storage systems, as well as activities directly in the US, it is a clear beneficiary of the energy hunger of AI data centers. Peter Lei

An opinion piece by Nico Popp ( Apaton Finance GmbH). RE Royalties brings a breath of fresh air to the portfolio – with a business model that combines the security of infrastructure with the returns of private equity. The Canadian company finances renewable energy projects in the areas of wind, solar, and storage. To do this, the Company does not rely on loans, but on so-called royalties. The principle is ingeniously simple: RE Royalties provides project developers with capit

RE Royalties continues to support community and social improvement initiatives by contributing $25,000 towards the Eric Hamber Griffins program. This after-school football program was founded by head coach Bobby Gibson in 2010, is a source of connection, support, and personal growth for student athletes.     RE Royalties’ contribution will ensure that student athletes get the support they deserve to grow not only on the field but also off the field. At RE Royalties, social im

An opinion piece by Armin Schulz ( Apaton Finance GmbH). RE Royalties – On course for expansion On December 11, there were already signs of where the journey was headed for Canadian specialist financier RE Royalties. At that time, the Company announced a pipeline of around CAD 50 million in concrete investment opportunities in solar, wind, and storage projects. This announcement was not merely a story about the future, but a clear signal of disciplined portfolio growth. The f

An opinion piece by André Will-Laudien ( Apaton Finance GmbH) RE Royalties – Strategic portfolio expansion in the US solar market Things are also getting exciting at Canadian specialist financier RE Royalties. At the turn of the year, the share price jumped 40%. What happened? The Company is positioning itself in a market environment in which sustainable investments are becoming increasingly attractive from a purely economic perspective. Business models with a clear ESG and i

An opinion piece by Nico Popp ( Apaton Finance GmbH) Bank withdrawal and capital gap favor the royalty model To fully grasp the potential of RE Royalties, one must first analyze the macroeconomic environment, which, according to recent reports by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and McKinsey, calls for a dramatic expansion of investment. Experts agree: to achieve global climate targets by 2050, annual investments in clean energy must triple. But it is precisely at this m

As we continue to celebrate five years since the launch of our inaugural Green Bond, RE Royalties is proud to highlight another project making a positive environmental impact achieved with the help and support of our bondholders. The Cardston Clean Communities project is an excellent example of how sustainable and impactful financing pushes for not only environmental progress but also supports the Indigenous communities in Canada.  In 2023, Clean Communities, an Indigenous-le

The Maldives Solar Project, developed in partnership with Abraxas Power Maldinvest Ltd., demonstrates how sustainable financing can drive both environmental and social progress — even in some of the world’s most remote and climate-vulnerable regions.
