The award recognizes Hogan Lovells’ advice to Enpal B.V. on a €300 million securitisation of solar and heat pump receivables, a transaction the firm previously described as the first public transaction globally to include receivables from heat pump contracts. Hogan Lovells also said the transaction aligned with the ICMA Green Bond Principles, was supported by an independent second-party opinion, qualified as an STS (Simple, Transparent and Standardised) transaction, and involved notes to be cleared and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. 

The Hogan Lovells team was led by Frankfurt-based partner Dr. Dietmar Helms and counsel Sebastian Oebels.

Dr. Dietmar Helms commented: “We are delighted that this transaction has been recognised at the Sustainable Debt Awards 2026. It represents an important step forward for the securitisation market and shows how innovative financing can help advance the energy transition.”
