en.Wedoany.com Reported - Germany's Enertrag has signed a long-term commercial agreement in Brandenburg for a hybrid project combining a 44.5 MW solar plant with a 5 MW/10 MWh battery energy storage system.

Energy trader EDF Trading will purchase and sell the solar power under a seven-year power purchase agreement, while German flexibility trader e2m will manage the battery under a seven-year battery processing agreement. The battery will operate as a green power co-located asset for the first five years, then switch to a gray power co-location model for the remaining two years.

The project in Brüssow aims to maximize the use of a constrained grid connection by adding solar and battery storage to an existing connection already serving 33 MW of wind capacity and approximately 20 MW of battery storage, sharing the remaining available grid capacity and avoiding the construction of a dedicated connection.

Enertrag, EDF Trading, and e2m stated that this integrated commercial structure provides long-term revenue certainty while optimizing the project's economic benefits.

e2m noted that the project demonstrates how combining renewable energy generation, battery flexibility, and customized marketing arrangements can improve the commercial viability of hybrid assets, especially when multiple technologies share a single grid connection.
