About Us
LTI ReEnergy CleanTech GmbH is a leading German automation company group founded 50 years ago and has started to be active in the renewable sector in wind energy since 1999 and solar energy since 2007.
LTI’s high-efficiency power electronics is renowned for being deployed in extra-harsh conditions, particularly for the Solar and Waste-to-Energy industry.
Since company incorporation days in 1971, LTI’s vast application has continuously helped new technology start-ups for applications in floating solar, near shallow geothermal, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) systems, electrical storage, electrolyzers for hydrogen applications, desalination, and reverse osmosis and Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) technologies.
LTI uses these technologies for all kinds of clean, decentralized energy, and water generation and storage solutions for the new future energy mix with the EMEA region and carefully chosen deployment markets across the world.
LTI’s unparalleled network within the industry for both CleanTech blue-chips and start-up companies and technologies allows for a wide range of applications of new technologies and new market niches to be developed quickly to a sizable scale.
Beyond its robust German technology and European and Middle East engineering base, LTI has successfully set up a technical project development arm acting out of the UAE and a project funding and financial structuring business arm incorporated in London.
By doing so, LTI is securing equity positions in the late-stage development phase of the most promising investment opportunities and bringing it to the shuffle-ready stage. LTI also assures the project viability by structuring the debt and equity investments after the grid connection and commercial operation commencement date and the bridge funding for the construction period and some of the world’s largest EPC companies. Under LTI’s supervision, they work to complete projects at foreseen budgets, timelines, and energy generation levels to de-risk the financial investments during the construction phase.
Besides the ability to apply the needed technical solutions in solar, storage, and water generation for the region and beyond, LTI, by use of its industry network, shall also support substantial investment opportunities directly from the project developers and sponsors for both equity and debt lending as well as high-yielding CleanTech energy and water generation investments in carefully selected regions worldwide.
