Elia Group German government agrees on 25.1% Tennet stake

Yesterday, the German government (via KfW) secured a 25.1% "blocking minority" in TenneT's German operations. The €3.3bn deal ends years of negotiations between Germany and the Netherlands. The deal is struck at the same equity value following the capital contribution (46%) from ABP, GIC and Norges Bank in 09/25 at a total equity value of 13.3bn. TenneT NL will hold the remaining 28.9%. We understand from the Handelsblatt that KfW will invest an additional €1.7bn before 2035. TenneT GE will now be sufficiently capitalised to complete its FY29 capex plan. This is also good news for Elia as it co-invests to bring North Sea wind energy on shore. The GE government statements mention a total investment budget to support the Capex of its 3 TSO stakes of 7.6bn. That leaves ample room to finance its 20% commitment if and when Elia raises the remaining €2.2bn to finance its FY28 Capex plan. We avoid valuation comparison with Elia as it is unclear what the current capital needs at TennetT GE are after years of uncertainty.
