ENCAVIS and Innovar Solar sign framework agreement for solar projects with a total volume of 160 megawatts

Hamburg, 31 August 2023 – Hamburg-based wind and solar park operator Encavis AG, listed on the MDAX of Deutsche Börse AG (Prime Standard; ISIN: DE0006095003; ticker symbol: ECV) expands its portfolio of Strategic Development Partnerships (SDPs) by teaming up with Innovar Solar GmbH from Meppen. The framework agreement for an exclusive solar power pipeline comprises a total of nine project sites in Germany with a volume of 160 megawatts (MW) of generation capacity.

Eight projects are located close to motorways and railways or in other areas privileged by construction law for use for open-plan PV systems. The sites are subject to the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) and can partly be approved and implemented in a timely manner. All projects still benefit from the Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) of the EEG with a term of 20 years. One of the nine projects sells the electricity through a long-term pay-as-produced Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Mario Schirru, CIO/COO of Encavis AG, welcomes the signing of the framework agreement and says: “The number of interesting projects in the market is increasing significantly again. We are very pleased about this, as we are making further progress on the path of accelerated growth and massive expansion of our capacities to a total of 8 gigawatts by 2027. Thanks to the cooperation with Innovar Solar, we are now able to significantly strengthen our project pipeline of Strategic Development Partnerships in one of our focus markets”.
