HPS Home Power Solutions successfully completes capital increase to finance further growth
HPS Home Power Solutions AG, the world’s leading provider of green hydrogen-based year-round electricity storage for buildings, has completed a capital increase of €22 million.
The capital increase was subscribed by a German entrepreneurial family and several existing shareholders. HPS is using the capital raised to continue on its growth path in Germany and internationally.
“We are pleased that we were able to carry out the capital increase with existing shareholders as well as with a new anchor shareholder. This further strengthens our liquidity and capital structure and puts us in an excellent position for the tasks ahead,” says Jewgeni Elster, CFO of HPS. “The positive response to the capital increase shows that investors are just as convinced of our path. As a pioneer, we are in an excellent market position throughout Germany with our year-round electricity storage picea.”
Already in July last year, HPS received a total of 30 million euros in loans from Santander Bank. In 2022, HPS also made further important progress in its corporate development.
The sales network via partners was expanded, who are trained in the newly launched digital HPS Academy. In addition, the first multi-picea in a building with several residential units has been inaugurated, where several picea systems are cascaded. This application can also be optimally used by commercial customers. HPS has also developed a sustainability strategy that is being implemented step by step. HPS recently received a good ESG rating.
In 2023, the funds from the capital increase will be used to accelerate the technological development of picea, expand national and international sales activities and strengthen working capital. The company plans to continue its strong growth course and to continue to expand at a triple-digit growth rate.
