en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish company Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) has secured grid connection capacity for 2.3 GW of planned renewable energy and battery storage projects in Germany. This capacity allocation will support the development of solar photovoltaic (PV) plants, battery storage facilities, and hybrid projects, with the goal of reaching a construction-ready status between 2026 and 2029.
The acquisition of this 2.3 GW grid capacity reflects the increasingly competitive landscape for grid connections, which has become a significant issue for the development of large-scale renewable energy and storage projects in Germany. The planned projects span multiple federal states and aim to support Germany's expansion of renewable power generation, promote the modernization of grid infrastructure, and meet industrial electricity demand.
In Brandenburg, FRV is advancing four projects, including three battery storage facilities and one hybrid project. Among them, a battery storage facility with a planned capacity of 750 MW is nearing the receipt of a building permit. The company aims to have these projects reach construction-ready status between 2026 and 2028. In Lower Saxony, FRV's portfolio includes five projects, one of which is a 600 MW battery energy storage system currently in the B-Plan phase, and a 13.8 MW solar PV plant, expected to reach construction-ready status between the fourth quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2028.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, three projects with a combined planned capacity exceeding 900 MW are awaiting final permits. This portfolio includes two hybrid facilities and a battery storage project with a rated power of 900 MW / 3,600 MWh, scheduled to reach construction-ready status between late 2027 and the first quarter of 2029. Additionally, FRV is advancing other projects in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony-Anhalt, and Schleswig-Holstein.
Amós Guillén, Managing Director of FRV Germany, stated that Germany needs more renewable power generation, but more importantly, it needs to be integrated into the electricity system more efficiently and at a fair price. With 2.3 GW of secured transmission grid capacity, the company is building a portfolio that combines storage, solar PV, and hybrid solutions, with a clear roadmap to construction-ready status. The focus is on projects that can increase flexibility, better utilize grid infrastructure, and support the next phase of Germany's energy transition.
The company's international portfolio includes over 2.9 GW of operational projects, 1 GW under construction, and an additional 29 GW in development. As part of Jameel Energy, FRV is currently advancing permitting, technical planning, and construction preparation work in Germany.
