Green Hedge sells 100MW German battery storage project to Econergy International
Green Hedge Infra GmbH (Green Hedge), a specialist developer of utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects focused on the German market, has announced the sale of its first Ready-to-Build battery storage project to Econergy International, a global independent power producer (IPP) of utility-scale renewable energy projects.
The 100MW project of up to four hours duration is located on mixed industrial land on the outskirts of Senftenberg in the Brandenburg region of Germany and construction is underway.
The sale, which was completed in June 2025, marks Green Hedge’s successful entry into the German BESS market, where it is developing a portfolio of high-quality projects, strategically located to increase grid reliability and support greater use of renewable energy.
For Econergy, the acquisition forms part of its broader strategy to expand its European storage portfolio, with over 6GW of energy storage projects across the UK, Romania, Italy, Poland, and now Germany.
Green Hedge’s expert leadership team have over twenty years’ combined experience of BESS project development, having led the successful delivery of over 360MW/720MWh of battery storage capacity in the UK, from development, engineering and construction through to commercial operation.
The team are bringing their skills and expertise to Germany’s growing utility-scale battery storage market, supporting the Government’s ambition to transition to 80% renewable energy by 2030 . Meeting this target will require significant growth in flexible assets such as battery storage, which help to balance electricity supply and demand, manage variable renewable generation and enhance system resilience.
The company is working closely with local municipalities and utilities ("Stadtwerke") to identify suitable project locations that maximise the benefits of battery storage to the grid.
