Absolute Energy (“AE”) is an independent investment platform and principal investor focused on renewable energies. Formed from the spin-off of the Deutsche Bank Renewable Energy Principal Finance Team in 2009, AE’s track-record totals over 3,000 MW developed in different renewable energy technologies throughout Europe. Since its foundation, AE has been directly involved with the development and co-investment in PV Projects totalling over 450 MW. AE has also invested its own capital resources in different solar PV Projects in Italy totalling circa 20MW and still owns and operates a 9MW plant in Rome. Absolute Energy’s vision has anticipated how the epochal shift in energy generation and distribution technologies as well as digitalisation will transform Emerging Markets’ socio-economic development. Our Vision for today and tomorrow is clear! We are prepared for a new era, where: ✔ Renewable energy technologies are becoming increasingly competitive surpassing the most competitive fossil fuel sources. ✔ Storage is the great “game changer” solving the intermittency of renewable energy generation and allowing reliable 24/7 energy service delivered at increasingly competitive costs. ✔ Digitalization, IoT, AI and Fintech will transform the way energy is utilized/distributed, metered and paid especially in emerging markets where another leapfrog is possible to mimic what happened in the telecoms in the past decades. ✔ De-centralized generation models will gradually replace traditional centralized ones ensuring faster and modular deployment at cheaper costs. Enlightened Governments will take this opportunity to replicate the leapfrogging attained in the telecoms. ✔ Ensuring access to energy to everyone in the world at competitive costs and in full respect of the environment will trigger significant socio-economic implications while fostering unprecedented growth in emerging markets economies.
