Name

ILOS Projects GmbH, also known as ILOS Energy

Headquarters

Karlsruhe, Germany

Founded

2018

Size

Approximately 80 employees (as of the end of 2024) (source: ippjournal.com). The company has not disclosed public revenue figures for 2023 or later, but the balance sheet total is reported at 300 million euros, classifying it as a large company by German standards (source: implisense.com).

What They Do

ILOS Energy focuses on renewable energy, particularly solar photovoltaics (PV), and is increasingly integrating battery storage and hydrogen interfaces for hybrid projects. The company manages the entire lifecycle from development to construction, financing, and long-term asset management as an independent power producer (IPP) (source: ippjournal.com). Their products and services include the design of solar parks, negotiating EPC and O&M contracts, securing external financing and PPAs, as well as managing grid connections and operating sites to optimize kWh production (source: ilos-energy.com). Target markets include seven European countries, where ILOS serves landowners, communities, local councils, and energy consumers through its own solar parks with green electricity (source: ilos-energy.com). ILOS differentiates itself through a lean, founder-led structure with deep internal capabilities and a portfolio of 4.5 GWp by the end of 2024 (source: ippjournal.com).

Projects & Track Record

By the end of 2024, ILOS's portfolio includes six operational sites totaling 123 MW, primarily solar PV, with specific names and locations of most not publicly detailed (source: ilos-energy.com).

A total of 961 MW is ready for construction, supporting hybrid solar projects with storage and hydrogen (source: ilos-energy.com). In September 2023, ILOS sold a 28 MW solar park in Spain to Encavis, marking a milestone in asset monetization (source: encavis.com).

Recent Developments

In 2024, ILOS secured a financing facility of 500 million euros from EIG to accelerate growth to over 2 GW by 2026, focusing on construction capital and ready-to-build acquisitions in solar and battery projects (source: eigpartners.com). AXA IM Alts acquired a 60% stake in ILOS in 2024, as announced in mid-year press releases, enabling the scaling of the platform with founder involvement (source: axa-im.com). Previously, at the end of 2023, ILOS received 143 million euros in debt for the 217 MW solar park in Ballyhea, Ireland (source: ippjournal.com).

Working There

ILOS employs over 70 staff across seven countries in areas such as development, construction, engineering, EPC, grid integration, asset management, finance, M&A, commercial strategy, and project management (source: ilos-energy.com). Recruitment is primarily conducted from the headquarters in Karlsruhe and through European offices in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Spain, and Germany, while the small team is rapidly growing to support pipeline expansion (source: ippjournal.com).
