Meyer Burger Technology AG is planning an ordinary capital increase through a rights offering, targeting gross proceeds of up to CHF 250 million. Solar markets globally and in particular in Europe and the USA are showing continued strong growth, being additionally fueled by the recent energy crisis. Meyer Burger has successfully ramped its first solar cell and module production capacities, has successfully positioned its high-performance products in the European and U.S. markets and has recently signed a long-term supply agreement with the U.S. renewable-energy developer D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI). Under the agreement, Meyer Burger expects to deliver between 3.75 and 5 gigawatts (GW) of solar modules into utility-scale solar projects over an approximately five-year time span, which starts in 2024. Against this background, Meyer Burger now intends to seize the opportunity for an accelerated expansion with the goal to expand its production capacity to approximately 3 GW per year.
