Gen2 Energy AS announces that they have raised approximately NOK 150 million through a private placement of new shares.

The Private Placement received solid support from existing shareholders as well as Gen2 Energy’s board of directors and employees, and UK-based hydrogen specialist investment funds HyCap Fund I SCSp and HydrogenOne Capital Growth plc, both investing through wholly-owned SPVs, were anchor investors in the Private Placement and have received certain anchor investor rights.

HyCap and HydrogenOne will both be represented in Gen2 Energy’s board of directors, and Gen2 Energy’s extraordinary general meeting held 15 March 2022 elected Matthew Holgate (Principal, HyCap) and Richard Hulf (Managing Partner and Co-Founder, HydrogenOne) as new board members, effective from the time of registration of the share capital increase resolved by the EGM.

Jonas Meyer, Gen2 Energy’s CEO comments:

“With this important vote of confidence in Gen2 Energy and validation of the company’s model for production and distribution of green hydrogen by such internationally renowned hydrogen players as HyCap and HydrogenOne, Gen2 Energy is poised to leverage its early mover position within green hydrogen in Norway to accelerate project development and growth. Gen2 Energy has a strong group of backers as we continue to develop our green hydrogen projects and progress towards construction of our initial production facility.”

Simon Hogan, Chairman of HydrogenOne says:

“Gen2 Energy marks HydrogenOne’s first step into investment in hydrogen supply projects, and we are looking forward to working with the Gen2 Energy team to progress these exciting developments.”

Gen2 Energy plans to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to fund the development of the company’s portfolio of sustainable green hydrogen projects based on renewable energy (with total potential capacity of up to 700 MW) to a final investment decision stage, and for general corporate purposes.

Wikborg Rein Advokatfirma AS acted as legal adviser to the Company in connection with the Private Placement.
