NORD/LB Norddeutsche Landesbank finances the construction and subsequent operation of a major wind farm in France for the Austrian energy producer WEB Windenergie AG (W.E.B). The overall financing volume amounts to EUR 63 million.

NORD/LB Norddeutsche Landesbank figures among the world's leading institutions in the financing of renewable energies. A new ranking by the internationally prestigious trade publication IJ Global – Project Finance & Infrastructure Journal puts NORD/LB in fourth place worldwide in the "Mandated Lead Arranger Renewables" category. The first three places are taken by Spain's Banco Santander followed by Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. The top 10 of the ranking only includes one other German bank besides NORD/LB, namely Deutsche Bank in 6th place.

NORD/LB issued an uncovered bearer bond with a volume of EUR 750 million and five-year maturity on Wednesday. The previous day had seen investors invited to submit their expressions of interest. Within just a few hours it became apparent that the bank could reckon with subscription orders in an amount far beyond the EUR 500 million mark, which is the minimum volume required for a benchmark issue.
