Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), a leading developer of sustainable energy solutions, and part of Jameel Energy, is expanding its portfolio of battery energy storage systems, photovoltaic plants and hybrid projects in Germany.  The company has secured 2.3 GW of grid capacity for projects across the country, creating a clear development path towards Ready-to-Build milestones between 2026 and 2029.

The announcement of 2.3 GW secured grid capacity comes at a time when grid access has become a decisive factor for large-scale renewable energy and storage projects in Germany.  Spread across several regions, these projects are key to the country’s renewable build-out, grid development and industrial electricity demand.  The German portfolio is part of FRV’s broader international development pipeline including photovoltaic, battery energy storage, hybrid, green hydrogen projects and data centers.  Globally, the Spain-headquartered group operates more than 2.9 GW of assets, with a further 1.0 GW currently under construction and an international project pipeline of 29 GW.

“Germany needs more renewable generation, but more importantly renewable energy must be integrated more efficiently into the power system and at fair price,” said Amós Guillén, Managing Director of FRV Germany. “With 2.3 GW of secured transmission grid capacity, we are building a portfolio which combines storage, PV and hybrid solutions with a clear route to Ready-to-Build status. Our focus is on projects that add flexibility, make better use of grid infrastructure and support the next phase of Germany’s energy transition.”

The battery storage projects are designed for a two- or four-hour discharge duration, allowing them to store electricity during periods of high renewable generation and feed it back into the system when demand is higher and clean energy is lacking in the system.  This flexibility helps to make better use of existing grid infrastructure and supports the integration of additional renewable energy, the core business of FRV.

In Brandenburg, the company is developing four projects including three battery storage facilities and one hybrid project.  The portfolio includes one battery energy storage project, with 750 MW, which is currently close to building approval. Ready-to-Build status for the Brandenburg portfolio is expected between 2026 and 2028.

In Lower Saxony, FRV is developing five projects with a total planned capacity of almost 700 MW, including one battery energy storage system, one photovoltaic plant and three hybrid projects.  Key projects include a battery energy storage system, with 600 MW, which is facing already the B-Plan phase, and a  photovoltaic project, with 13.8 MW.  The projects are expected to reach Ready-to-Build status between Q4 2026 and Q1 2028.

In North Rhine-Westphalia, FRV is developing three additional projects with an estimated total capacity of over 900 MW, subject to final construction permits.  The portfolio includes two hybrid projects and one battery energy storage facility.  One of the key projects is a battery energy storage system, with 900 MW and 3,600 MWh, Ready-to-Build status for the North Rhine-Westphalia portfolio is expected between late 2027 and Q1 2029.

Beyond the 2.3 GW portfolio with secured transmission grid capacity, FRV is developing a further pipeline in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony-Anhalt and Schleswig-Holstein.  The company will now advance the projects through permitting, technical design and preparation for construction.  FRV’s German activities are supported by the company’s international project development and delivery experience, including more than 50 plants across four continents and eight countries.
