Spain-based renewable energy developer Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) has obtained 2.3 GW of transmission grid capacity in Germany to support a portfolio of solar, battery storage, and hybrid projects that are expected to achieve Ready-to-Build status between 2026 and 2029 (FRV press release, 17/06/2026).
- In Brandenburg, FRV is advancing four projects, comprising three battery storage facilities and one hybrid project. The portfolio notably includes a 750 MW battery energy storage project, which is currently nearing construction approval. The Brandenburg projects are anticipated to reach Ready-to-Build status between 2026 and 2028.
- In Lower Saxony, the company is developing five projects with a combined planned capacity of nearly 700 MW, consisting of one battery energy storage system, one photovoltaic plant, and three hybrid projects. Among the flagship developments are a 600 MW battery energy storage system and a 13.8 MW photovoltaic project. These projects are expected to achieve Ready-to-Build status between Q4 2026 and Q1 2028.
- In North Rhine-Westphalia, FRV is also progressing three additional projects with an estimated combined capacity exceeding 900 MW, pending final construction approvals. This portfolio comprises two hybrid projects and one battery energy storage facility. A key development is a 900 MW / 3,600 MWh battery energy storage system. The North Rhine-Westphalia portfolio is expected to attain Ready-to-Build status between late 2027 and Q1 2029.
FRV will now move forward with the permitting process, technical engineering, and construction preparation activities for these projects.
The German portfolio forms part of FRV’s wider international development pipeline, which includes photovoltaic, battery energy storage, hybrid, and green hydrogen projects, as well as data centers. Globally, the company currently operates more than 2.9 GW of assets, while an additional 1 GW is under construction. Its international project pipeline totals 29 GW.
