Responsible investing in real assets

A giant mass of floating plastic in the Atlantic, extinction of animal species, polluted environment, reduced drinking water supplies, the devastation of rain forests in Amazon, high CO2 levels in the atmosphere around the world… There are many global problems facing our planet. What can be done to help the environment? The change starts with you! At NOVA Green Energy, we believe that by supporting meaningful local green projects we can contribute to sustainable development and thus do our part to save the Earth.

NOVA Green Energy contributes to sustainable development in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, in other words, in locations we know. Fund owns renewable energy sources producing green electricity and heat and aims to reduce the negative impact on the environment as much as possible.

That is why we install solar panels where nothing can grow, in the tailings pond near the uranium mine. That is why we use the roof-tops of farm buildings, which have no other use. That is why we try to process all the wood to zero waste. And that is why we use feedstock in biogas stations twice, first as fuel, then as fertilizer.

It is important to us that we do not occupy valuable agricultural land, that we do not affect the surrounding landscape with our projects, and for us to use resources efficiently. Thanks to investors who share those values with us, we can contribute to sustainable development and reduce harmful emissions in the closest environs of Central and Eastern Europe.

The NOVA Green Energy fund is suitable for conservative investors who expect stable growth of their investments and appreciate the net average return over 6 % p.a., which is independent from capital market development. 

Benefits

  • Fund owns renewable energy sources producing green energy and heat
  • We invest in locations we know - the Central Europe region
  • Taking advantage of benefits of guaranteed Feed-in Tariffs for renewable energy for the next 15-25 years
  • Suitable for conservative investors who expect stable growth of their investments
  • Investor participates in emission reduction and environmental sustainability
  • Independent from capital market development

Investment projects

Investment Strategy

NOVA Green Energy is a fund of qualified investors (hereinafter only “Fund”) investing in equity of companies operating small and medium facilities (1-4 MW) that generate power from renewable sources of energy in the Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The yield of the Fund is steady because it’s based on feed-in tariffs of electricity for a period of 15 – 20 years; moreover these prices exceed a common market electricity price. Those factors together with effective asset management reflect in economic result of the Fund. 

The Fund aims to be the best option for conservative investors expecting stable  and adequate capital appreciation in the area of renewable sources. Strict regulation framework, clearly set management motivation, a respected fund manager, expert and auditor as well as other institutional and project guarantees ensure maximum transparency of NOVA Green Energy following the model of Western Europe investment funds.

Risk Profile

The key risks in the field of renewable resources that the Fund faces include technological risk, project implementation risk, and natural risk. All those risks may represent a malfunction of the technology, respectively failure to achieve the expected technical parameters of production, which may result in the inefficiency of equipment production at higher costs. Very important is a specific risk of instability of state energy policy, which may negatively affect the value of the Fund's assets.

Another specific risk is technological risk, as well as the operation risk of sources used in order to produce electricity and heat from renewable sources, which are directly linked to natural conditions that may not be influenced externally. Moreover, natural sources such as annual average wind speed, sunshine or crop yield for biomass production could significantly oscillate. Investments targeted by the Fund, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, are subject to state regulations and any change in law, both in the Czech Republic and in other countries where the Fund invests, may, therefore, change legal relationships applying to the Fund's investments, that may differ significantly from the current situation.

We used available data of comparable investment funds on the Czech market to determine the aggregate risk indicator.
