The Munich-based climate tech startup Ampeers Energy Ampeers has completed its corporate restructuring. As of January 1, 2026, the operating business of the former Ampeers Energy GmbH was transferred to Ampeers Group GmbH as part of a transfer of assets. This step follows preliminary insolvency proceedings that were opened at the turn of the year.
Transferring assets as part of a restructuring process is an established instrument in Germany for reorganizing financially distressed companies. Assets and operating units are transferred to a new company, while the old company is liquidated. The aim is to ensure the orderly continuation of business operations under a new legal framework and to guarantee equal treatment of creditors.
Ampeers Energy is one of Munich's leading energy and climate tech startups. The company works at the intersection of the real estate industry, the energy transition, and climate strategy, thus addressing a key area of action: the economically viable decarbonization of existing buildings.
As part of the restructuring, a large portion of the structures and jobs were preserved. This ensures that Ampeer Energy remains an established player in the local ecosystem. Parallel to the restructuring, independent financial investors invested a mid-single-digit million euro sum in the new company. This financing is intended to stabilize the company's financial foundation following the insolvency proceedings.
insolvency administrator Axel W. Bierbach The law firm Müller-Heydenreich Bierbach & Kollegen accompanied the process.:
"I am pleased that we were able to successfully complete the investor process within a very ambitious timeframe and ensure that the team and the company's performance are retained."
Management expanded, tenant electricity restructured
Dr. Karsten Schmidt and Tobias Müller will continue to manage the operational side of the new company. Dr. Maurizio Lindemann, formerly head of Growlution, will join the management team. His business served as the legal basis for the new structure and was incorporated into Ampeers Group GmbH.
Ampeers Energy continues to focus on climate and modernization strategies for existing buildings. This includes the analysis of emissions and consumption, the development of renovation and photovoltaic concepts, and the planning and implementation of corresponding projects for property owners.
As part of the restructuring, the Munich-based startup is reorganizing the Tenant electricity sector New. Starting in January 2026, the external service provider EM Energiemanagement will handle the operational management and billing of customer-owned tenant electricity projects. Ampeers Energy will cooperate with Solarize for software solutions for billing local electricity projects. Strategically, the company will remain active in this segment as a consulting partner. The startup is thus expanding its existing partnerships, including one with Polarstern, to include further electricity usage models.
Dr. Karsten Schmidt, co-founder and managing director of Ampeers Energy, says:
“We see that our customers increasingly need different models for using PV electricity. The handover strengthens our neutrality in selecting the appropriate model and gives us more room to concentrate on strategy and implementation.”
With the completion of the transfer of assets during the restructuring process, the corporate reorganization of Ampeers Energy is now complete. The operational business will henceforth be handled by Ampeers Group GmbH.
