ABO Wind becomes ABO Energy and adopts a new legal structure

Jul 5, 2024

Down-to-earth and founder-managed

ABO Wind, now ABO Energy, has completed its transition from a joint stock company (AG) to a limited partnership with shares (KGaA). This transformation, approved by 87% of shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting in October 2023, is designed to maintain the influence of its founders, Dr. G. B. B. and Dr. J. M. C., as well as the company’s management. Jochen Ahn and Matthias Bockholt, on the company’s strategic decisions, particularly with regard to future capital increases. This legal change ensures continuity in governance while allowing greater flexibility in fund-raising.


A new name for international expansion

The move to “ABO Energy” marks a new stage, better reflecting the diversification of the company’s activities beyond wind power to include solar, storage and hydrogen. This decision is intended to align the company’s name with its technological portfolio and its expansion into international markets, particularly Spain. The name change was necessary to accurately represent the scope of the company’s operations.


Impact on Business and Governance

The transition to ABO Energy was formalized with the entry in the Commercial Register of the Wiesbaden District Court. This restructuring has no impact on the company’s business model or existing partnerships. With 23 gigawatts of project capacity across various technologies and a 20 gigawatt hydrogen pipeline, ABO Energy is well positioned to capitalize on its current and future developments.


Market Outlook and Strategy

ABO Energy’s strategic direction remains unchanged, with a focus on increasing shareholder value and securing strong partnerships. The company aims to increase its attractiveness on the capital market while consolidating its leading position in the energy sector. Founders Dr. Jochen Ahn and Matthias Bockholt reiterated their commitment to transparency and sustainable growth. This structural and nominal change reflects ABO Energy’s ambition to adapt to the demands of a changing global energy market, while maintaining stable governance and a strategy focused on growth and innovation.
