Franjo Salic will take on the position of Chief Investment Officer (CIO) in addition to his previous role as Head of M&amp;A. Frank Grafe, who was previously CIO, is moving to the newly created position of Chief Development Officer (CDO) and will focus on driving forward the CEE Group&#8217;s rapidly growing and strategically increasingly important development and repowering business. Both long-standing executives will thus remain part of the new Management Board and offer institutional investors the best possible combination of stability and market experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his new position, Franjo Salic is responsible for the areas of investment and asset management. He has been with the CEE Group since 2013 and has held various positions during this time, most recently as Head of M&amp;A from 2023 and as part of the Management Board since November 2024. His achievements include the international expansion and diversification of the CEE Group&#8217;s portfolio through the acquisition of assets in European markets such as France, the Netherlands, Spain and Scandinavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Franjo Salic can look back on more than 15 years of experience in the project and financing business. Before joining the CEE Group, he worked in banking. Trained as a banker, he also holds Bachelor&#8217;s degrees in Accounting &amp; Finance and Business Administration and a Master&#8217;s degree in Management &amp; Controlling from German and British universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;With his outstanding ability to navigate even the most complex financial structures and his strategic foresight, Franjo will make an even more decisive contribution to our long-term development and the continuation of our success story,&#8221; says Detlef Schreiber, CEO of CEE Group. &#8220;This differentiation and strengthening of our management team will enable us to continue to achieve sustainably excellent results for our investors even in a changing market environment &#8211; especially in the areas of project development and repowering, on which Frank Grafe will focus in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I am very pleased about the trust placed in me &#8211; and look forward to the tasks ahead. We have ambitious plans at home and abroad on behalf of our institutional investors. What sets us apart as the CEE Group is our well-established team with its wealth of experience,&#8221; adds Franjo Salic, CIO of the CEE Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CEE Group recently took the next strategic growth step and announced an ambitious institutional repowering project. As part of the new fund, which is expected to be worth over one billion euros, at least around 30 existing wind and solar parks in Germany will be renewed, which will almost triple green electricity production and secure attractive ongoing returns for existing investors. In addition to this focus on repowering, the CEE Group is also increasingly addressing the issue of hybridization, i.e. the coupling of different renewable energy sources and \/ or storage media at the same location with the same grid access.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--blockstudio\/blockstudio\/download-->\n    <div data-margin-after=\"default\" data-margin-before=\"small\" id=\"px-download-blockstudio-befda9acd187\" class=\"px-download px-download--standard\">\n        <div class=\"px-download-inner\">\n                            <div class=\"px-download-card\">\n                                        <div class=\"px-download-card__content\">\n                        <time class=\"px-download-card__date\" datetime=\"2025-01-27T15:47:00+01:00\">27.

The company is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, and was founded in 2000. CYCAP governs the full investment and asset lifecycle: from deal sourcing, fund structuring, and financing through asset development and construction to operations, optimization, and repowering. In optimization, CYCAP draws on proprietary AI applications that bring operational asset data and financial data together in a single architecture.\nAll relevant functions sit in-house. These include the company's own AIFM, fund and investment management, asset management, asset development, and a dedicated technical unit. More than 150 employees manage 103 realized wind and solar PV projects with 2.2 GW(p) of installed capacity. Assets under management total EUR 2.7 billion, invested across Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, and Sweden.\nCYCAP stands for Cycle, Capital, Assets, and People. The company has carried this name since March 2026; it previously operated as CEE Group. CYCAP Asset Management GmbH and its subsidiaries are wholly owned by Brookfield Asset Management.","email":"info@cycap.com","telephone":"+49-40-688788-0","legalName":"CYCAP Asset Management GmbH","vatID":"DE171613281","foundingDate":"2000","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":150},"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"Speersort 10","addressLocality":"Hamburg","addressRegion":"HH","postalCode":"20095","addressCountry":"DE"},"contactPoint":[{"@type":"ContactPoint","telephone":"+49-40-688788-0","email":"info@cycap.com","contactType":"customer service","availableLanguage":["en","de"],"areaServed":"Worldwide","hoursAvailable":{"@type":"OpeningHoursSpecification","dayOfWeek":["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"],"opens":"09:00","closes":"18:30"}},{"@type":"ContactPoint","telephone":"+49-40-688788-0","contactType":"recruiting","availableLanguage":["en","de"],"url":"https:\/\/cycap.jobs.personio.de\/job\/356583\/apply?language=en&display=en"}],"areaServed":[{"@type":"Country","name":"DE"},{"@type":"Country","name":"NL"},{"@type":"Country","name":"FR"},{"@type":"Country","name":"ES"},{"@type":"Country","name":"DK"},{"@type":"Country","name":"SE"}],"openingHoursSpecification":{"@type":"OpeningHoursSpecification","dayOfWeek":["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"],"opens":"09:00","closes":"18:30"},"parentOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Brookfield CEE Holding GmbH"},"geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":"53.5501363","longitude":"9.9954304"},"hasCertification":[{"@type":"Certification","name":"ISO 55001 Asset Management","validFrom":"2021","issuedBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"T\u00dcV NORD"}},{"@type":"Certification","name":"ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety","validFrom":"2020","issuedBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"T\u00dcV NORD"}},{"@type":"Certification","name":"ISO 27001 Information Security","validFrom":"2018","issuedBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"T\u00dcV NORD"}},{"@type":"Certification","name":"ISO 9001 Quality Management","validFrom":"2025","issuedBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"T\u00dcV NORD"}}],"award":["IJGlobal Award 2026 (for 2025): Portfolio Financing Deal of the Year","Tamarindo Wind Investment Award 2026: Project Finance Deal of the Year - Developers","Tamarindo Wind Investment Award 2026: Industry Leader of the Year","Tamarindo Wind Investment Award 2026: Repowering Achievement of the Year"],"memberOf":[{"@type":"Organization","name":"PRI - Principles for Responsible Investment Association","url":"https:\/\/www.unpri.org\/"},{"@type":"Organization","name":"German Wind Energy Association (BWE)","url":"https:\/\/www.wind-energie.de\/"},{"@type":"Organization","name":"VDSI - Association for Safety, Health and Environmental Protection at Work","url":"https:\/\/www.vdsi.de\/"},{"@type":"Organization","name":"IDI - Initiative Deutsche Infrastruktur e.V.","url":"https:\/\/www.deutsche-infrastruktur.org\/"},{"@type":"Organization","name":"BAI - German Association of Alternative Investments","url":"https:\/\/www.bvai.de\/"}],"knowsAbout":["Renewable energy","Asset management for renewable energy","Wind energy","Wind farms","Photovoltaics","Solar parks","Battery storage","BESS","Repowering","Hybridization","Power Purchase Agreements","PPA","Power marketing","Institutional investors","Alternative investment funds","Closed-end funds","SFDR Article 9","Impact investing","Energy transition","On-Market Deal Sourcing","Off-Market Deal Sourcing","Fund management","Infrastructure investments"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.cycap.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/1b8be9432bb4cb329a15d7d77318e0eb","name":"Michaela Lamers","description":"Michaela Lamers ist Head of Marketing &amp; Communications von CYCAP und verantwortet seit April 2024 die Marketing- und Kommunikationsfunktion des Unternehmens, einschlie\u00dflich Product Marketing, Markenpositionierung und Go-to-Market-Strategie.
