Posted by Ventus Energy has informed its investors that it will cease normal business operations and initiate a court-supervised restructuring process.
According to the company, three factors triggered this decision: The order issued by BaFin that was prohibiting the acceptance of funds from German investors and requiring an orderly repayment or wind-down process for affected investors; severe disruptions to banking and payment infrastructure which has affected day-to-day payment operations; and what the company describes as “targeted disruptive activities” which allegedly resulted in criminal proceedings in Estonia.
For investors, the implications are significant: No more new loans will be offered through the platform, interest payments have been suspended, and the Early Exit function has been frozen. Withdrawals of account balances are expected to be processed “as soon as reasonably practicable”, subject to compliance requirements and the restructuring proceedings. In practical terms, withdrawals are blocked for the foreseeable future and there is currently no binding repayment date.
The repayment of outstanding loans is expected to be funded entirely through the structured sale of the company’s energy assets, including Heat & Electricity, Wind & BESS, Solar & BESS, and other infrastructure projects. A comprehensive repayment plan, including different scenarios and timelines, is expected to be presented by July 10, 2026.
