Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) has secured 2.3 GW of grid capacity in Germany to support a portfolio of battery energy storage, solar PV, and hybrid renewable energy projects. The portfolio forms part of FRV’s broader international pipeline spanning solar, energy storage, hybrid systems, green hydrogen, and data center developments, with projects targeting ready-to-build (RTB) status between 2026 and 2029. The battery storage projects across the portfolio are being designed with two- or four-hour discharge durations.
In Brandenburg, FRV is developing four projects, including three battery storage facilities and one hybrid project, involving a 750 MW battery energy storage project nearing building approval. In Lower Saxony, FRV is advancing five projects totaling nearly 700 MW, including a 600 MW battery energy storage system, a 13.8 MW solar PV plant, and three hybrid projects. In North Rhine-Westphalia, FRV is developing three projects with a combined capacity exceeding 900 MW, including a flagship 900 MW/3,600 MWh battery energy storage system and two hybrid projects.
The Brandenburg portfolio is expected to achieve RTB status between 2026 and 2028, while the Lower Saxony projects are targeted for RTB between the fourth quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2028. The North Rhine-Westphalia portfolio is expected to reach RTB status between late 2027 and the first quarter of 2029, subject to final permitting approvals. FRV is also advancing additional development opportunities across Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony-Anhalt, and Schleswig-Holstein.
