Our Business

ContourGlobal, a KKR company, is an established Independent Power Producer with almost two decades of growth trajectory with geographical and technological diversification. The company has a track-record of acquiring and developing wholesale power generation with long term contracts and, at the end of 2023, managed almost 6.2 GW of installed capacity in 18 countries across Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America. ContourGlobal is a reliable partner for communities, institutions and customers through innovative offtake solutions, including advanced power purchase agreements (PPAs) and hedging instruments, to maximize value creation.

OUR STRATEGY

As ContourGlobal approaches its 20th anniversary in 2025, the company is charting a bold new course, to help achieve the clean energy transition. With a current share of renewables capacity below 30%, the company has committed to speed up the decarbonization of its portfolio with a sustainable transition of its thermal fleet, the repowering of existing renewable assets and the organic development of new renewable projects.

In a rapidly evolving energy landscape characterized by surging clean technology investments, widespread adoption of renewables, and increasing demand for electricity, ContourGlobal is well-positioned to seize new opportunities and deliver sustainable value.

Our new strategy is built on four key pillars: decarbonization, optimizing the performance of existing assets, growth through development and strategic partnerships, and innovation in emerging technologies like biomethane and green hydrogen.

 

OUR SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

Sustainability has always been at the core of the company’s commitments, as shown by a decade-long membership to the United Nations Global Compact and commitment to disclosing in alignment with the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures. In the critical phase of the world’s transition to a low-carbon future, effective sustainability risk and opportunities management is essential to maintaining a competitive edge and creating long-lasting value as an Independent Power Producer.

ContourGlobal’s new direction will infuse sustainability across all functions to ensure our growth is accomplished while respecting our ESG commitments and not just seeking compliance.

In addition to the achievement of ContourGlobal’s significant planned milestone of its decarbonization pathway in 2030, we have also established our ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2040, subject to supportive policy environment and technological progress. Our pledge is aligned with the Paris Agreement goals and will include a roadmap with clear targets aiming to reduce our direct greenhouse gas emissions by ~90%, with a commitment to abate residual emissions that cannot be eliminated, by 2040.

Assets

We tackle big challenges and get big results. Our operations are best-in-class, drawing on the deep expertise of our global team, with know-how across proven and cutting edge energy technologies.

Principles & Values

Powering Communities Beyond Energy

Our commitment to being a good neighbor means we don’t just invest in energy. Protecting our environment, working closely with local stakeholders, investing in our communities, maintaining compliance with regulations and standards are the main aspects of our principles and values.

    Successful issuance of €500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% green senior secured notes due 2030 and US$510 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% green senior secured notes due 2030 (“Green Bonds”).
    The Green Bonds support ContourGlobal’s ambitious transition strategy focused on accelerating renewable energy growth and achieving its goal of Net Zero direct emissions by 2040.
    The offering was multiple times oversubscribed, underscoring investor confidence in ContourGlobal’s sustainability-driven vision and its long-term strategic plans.
    ContourGlobal intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the issuance of the Green Bonds towards investments in renewable energy production and energy storage, in line with its recently issued and third-party verified Green Bond Framework


    Milan, 6th February 2025 – ContourGlobal has successfully closed its debut corporate-level offering of Green Bonds, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s strategic transition to become a predominantly renewable Independent Power Producer (“IPP”).

    Encountering strong investor interest across the United States and Europe, the offering of Green Bonds was 4.5 times oversubscribed. ContourGlobal issued €500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% green senior secured notes due 2030 and US$510 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% green senior secured notes due 2030.

    ContourGlobal intends to allocate an amount equivalent to the net proceeds from the issuance to acquire and/or develop certain Eligible Green Projects 1), which will enable the expansion of ContourGlobal’s renewable project pipeline, accelerate the decarbonization of its portfolio, and facilitate the repurposing and decommissioning of its largest emission-intensive assets as part of its broader sustainability strategy.

    This issuance is a key pillar of ContourGlobal’s comprehensive strategy to become a predominantly renewable IPP by 2030. The Company’s transition path relies on:



    Phasing out coal no later than 2027 to significantly reduce carbon emissions.
    Accelerating renewable energy development to expand installed renewable capacity, particularly in solar and wind technologies.
    Significantly scaling up battery storage to support the energy transition and enhance grid stability.
    Phasing out, or converting, liquid fuel assets to high-efficiency natural gas plants to decarbonize existing operations in the portfolio.
