GERMANY: Orron divesting 90 MW solar PV project, aims for BESS sales by 2027
Orron Energy is in the process of divesting a third, 90 MW solar PV project in Germany, following on from its disposal of two Agri‑PV portfolios totaling 310 MW in the country in 2025, the group said on its Q4 2025 earnings call on February 18.
The group sold on the 310 MW pipeline in two separate transactions last year, with an initial 76 MW scheme divested to Saxovent Renewables in the summer for EUR 4m, and three development-stage schemes totalling 234 MW divested to Gülermak Renewables for EUR 14m at the end of the year.
The schemes sold on average for roughly EUR 55,000 / MW, once all development milestones through to RTB are reached. The current 90 MW project for sale is located in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Orron’s total German solar pipeline totals 1.3 GW of agricultural PV with land reserved and grid indications.
The group also has a multi-GW BESS pipeline in Germany, of which around 900 MW has already received municipal approvals, it said this week.
Its BESS schemes “are transmission-connected, placing them in a strong strategic position for revenue maximization,” it said, adding that grid offers are expected late 2026 or early 2027, after which projects can enter sales processes.
Orron’s UK solar pipeline meanwhile includes 1.8 GW of fully pre-permitted projects which are awaiting final grid details – it has secured grid access for 2.9 GW of solar and data centre projects in total post-reform, with gate-to-grid applications “ensuring medium-term certainty”.
Grid connection dates for UK projects are expected in the early 2030s, though Orrön “is actively planning bridging supply to accelerate timelines.”
The group’s wind portfolio across the Nordics is capable of generating over 1000 GWh annually, although this was reduced by 240 GWh to 839 GWh last year, due to price‑based curtailments (low prices) and weather reduced production.
Repowering opportunities exist in Sweden, the group said in its earnings call although new wind in Sweden currently faces challenging economics, except potentially with lower‑cost Chinese turbines.
Orrön Energy is currently about three and a half years into its journey as a pureplay renewables developer, after the oil and gas portion of the business, then known as Lundin Energy, was carved out and sold.
Following the change in direction and rebranding, Orrön is currently focussed on monetising its German and UK projects as quickly as possible. “Once we have their land and grid secured, and we have the outline planning done, then we’ll look to monetise those projects,” Fitzgerald told NPM in an interview last summer.
