Neubiberg/Munich, April 20, 2017 - CHORUS Clean Energy AG ('CHORUS'), a company specialized in investing and operating solar and wind power plants, which is based in Neubiberg near Munich, can invest an additional EUR 50 million including debt capital via its Luxembourg-based SICAV specialized fund. A credit institute in Germany, which had already invested in the CHORUS Infrastructure Fund S.A. SICAV-SIF Renewables Europe I sub-fund ('CHORUS Renewables Europe I'), is now substantially increasing its commitment.

This increase in funds will be used to further expand the portfolio of renewable energy plants in European countries. Currently, the renewable energy fund is already invested in several wind parks located in Germany and Finland with a total capacity of more than 70 MW.

'We are very pleased that an established investor wants to increase its commitment to one of our specialized funds once again.

Our investment strategy aligns with the investment goals of our long-term oriented customers - generating stable, reliable and high returns,' says Karsten Mieth, Management Board member at CHORUS Clean Energy AG. Over the course of the year, the successful series of Luxembourg specialized funds will be continued with a SICAV-RAIF fund - further enhancing the comprehensive investment opportunities provided for institutional investors.
