Hep global and Engelhart Sign Pioneering Hybrid PPA in Germany

The hep global Group and Engelhart Renewables have signed a ten-year Hybrid Power Purchase Agreement for a significant solar and battery storage project in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. This collaboration marks one of the first Hybrid-PPA arrangements in the country.

The Eppingen-Zimmerberg project features an 8.3 MWp solar photovoltaic asset paired with a 5 MW/10 MWh battery storage, as well as an additional 3.6 MWp solar installation. The facilities connect through a single grid point, underscoring a new frontier in hybrid renewable energy projects within the nation.

Engelhart will manage the electricity output through to 2036, integrating solar generation with battery storage, facilitated by Gridfuse's Virtual Power Plant technology. This agreement ensures price stability and efficient asset management.

The project sold before construction advances hep global's focus on European markets, indicating strategic growth in Germany, Italy, and Poland. The deal not only strengthens Engelhart's position in the renewable sector but also sets a precedent for future hybrid energy ventures.
