EDP inaugurates its first project in Germany
EDP, leader in the development of renewable energy, through EDP Renewables, inaugurated today its first renewable energy project in Germany, an 87 MWp solar pv plant, marking a significant milestone in its ambitious growth strategy for the country.
Ketzin is a utility-scale solar project located in Brandenburg, southwest of Berlin, and was developed with the collaboration of Kronos Solar EDPR, a company acquired by EDP in 2022. The plan will be able to generate over 91 GWh annually, a clean energy production that will avoid approximately 75,000 tons of CO2 in the region and that could power the equivalent of the yearly consumption of 28.000 households. Additionally, through Ketzin, EDP will supply clean energy for a big-tech company to power its operations in the country, through a PPA signed in 2024.
EDP recently presented its Business Plan 2026–2028, reaffirming Germany as one of its core growth markets. With a pipeline exceeding 3 GWp, the company’s long-term strategy in the country includes not only the development of new solar projects but also the expansion into wind power and energy storage systems (BESS), both stand-alone and co-located with complementary renewable sources.
Europe will represent approximately 20% of EDP’s total global investment under the new business plan, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainable growth and its ambition to play a leading role in advancing renewable energy across all its core markets.
Beyond Ketzin, EDP has started construction of the Meuselwitz utility-scale solar plant, which will have an installed capacity of 65 MWp. Two additional distributed generation solar projects are also set to begin operations soon in Germany. As part of our multi-technology approach, the company is expanding its wind pipeline, having recently secured land for two new projects in Lower Saxony, and is actively developing battery storage systems, both stand-alone and co-located with other assets, to enhance system flexibility and grid efficiency.
