We thrive on the strength of our network and APG and Mainova will add further leverage to our efforts.”

Their participation in EIP’s global coalition furthers both companies’ commitments and strategies to contribute to innovation and reduce their carbon footprint. APG will join EIP’s ESG advisory board and Mainova will play an active role in the coalition.
“APG is committed to the energy transition in several ways and endorses the importance of long term partnerships such as with EIP’s global coalition. APG’s commitment will contribute to the impact growth of companies relevant to the energy transition thereby contributing to fulfilling society’s urgent need and ambition to become carbon neutral. APG is therefore pleased to formally announce its commitment to EIP,” said Nienke Vledder, Senior Portfolio Manager Private Investments.
“As the leading energy supplier in the Frankfurt metropolitan region, Mainova is constantly looking for new energy solutions that help our clients to become carbon neutral. EIP provides us with intelligent food for thought as well as early access to promising ideas and founders.

They will help us and our customers to successfully get through the energy transition,” said Mainova CEO Dr. Constantin H. Alsheimer.
“EIP has for instance introduced us to Instagrid, a provider of portable power stations. Together with the startup, we have successfully tested their battery power packs. They can replace diesel gensets and thus reduce the carbon footprint of our DSO and street lighting business,” added Simon Wisseler, Senior Project Manager Corporate Strategy and Venture Capital at Mainova.
