Tobias Brosze joins Palladio Kommunal

Investment boutique Palladio Partners, which specialises in real asset investments, has a new managing director for its subsidiary Palladio Kommunal GmbH. In July 2023, it was announced that Tobias Brosze would be stepping down from his position as a member of the Management Board of Mainzer Stadtwerke and becoming Managing Partner of Palladio Kommunal. He has now taken up his new position.

‘German municipal infrastructure faces an enormous need for investment’

"The high costs of the climate transition are becoming increasingly clear,’ says Tobias Brosze. "The expansion of district heating, hydrogen and electricity grids, modern climate-friendly power plants, an ever-increasing need for local computing capacity - municipal infrastructure is facing enormous investment requirements. I am convinced that we can only manage these investments together. Politicians, local authorities and private investors must work hand in hand. I am very much looking forward to my new role, which will enable me to make a contribution to this."

Palladio Kommunal acts as a partner to municipal companies in the realisation of important infrastructure projects. It invests the long-term capital of German pension companies. Palladio Kommunal also contributes extensive expertise in the infrastructure sector and in the implementation of complex projects.

Tobias Brosze (44) worked at Mainzer Stadtwerke for twelve years, since 2014 as Technical Director and Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board. His responsibilities there included the business areas of conventional energy generation and renewable energies, heat generation and distribution, the grid area as well as innovation management, IT and procurement.

“New form of financing municipal infrastructure projects”

“As a long-standing municipal utility board member, Tobias Brosze knows what is important to municipalities when it comes to cooperation and is familiar with their challenges,’ says Michael Rieder, founder and Managing Director of Palladio Partners: ‘In recent years, our 15-strong team for investments in German infrastructure projects has developed a new form of financing for municipal infrastructure projects in which the municipality remains in control and we provide financial support and expertise. This collaboration on an equal footing has met with great interest and we look forward to expanding it further with Tobias Brosze.”
