He will be responsible for leading the investment strategy of Qualitas Energy in Germany, effective February 1, 2025.

This appointment follows the recent promotion of Johannes Overbeck, formerly Head of Investment, to the position of Co-CEO. In his new role, he assumes responsibility for overseeing Investment, Structured Finance, Finance, and Legal functions.

“We are delighted to welcome Clemens Susen as Head of Investment,” said Johannes Overbeck, Co-CEO at Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH. “With his solid expertise and extensive experience in structuring investments within the renewable energy sector, he will play a crucial role in advancing our ambitions in the German wind energy market. The energy transition requires substantial investments, particularly in wind energy projects, an area in which Clemens has demonstrated his expertise.”

In his new position at Qualitas Energy, he will play a key role in identifying and executing major investment opportunities in the German renewable energy market, with a particular focus on acquiring wind project rights under development or with repowering potential as well as platform acquisitions.

“I am thrilled to bring my experience to such a forward-thinking and dedicated company,” said Clemens Susen. “Germany offers enormous potential for expanding wind energy, and I am confident that through strategic investments and collaborative partnerships, we can make a meaningful impact in accelerating the energy transition.”

Qualitas Energy plans to allocate substantial capital towards the expansion of wind energy projects, funded through the €2.4 billion Qualitas Energy Fund V.
