ENERTRAG, e2m and EDF Trading partner on long-term commercial solution for Brüssow solar PV and battery storage hybrid project

Innovative combination of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and a tolling agreement provides long-term revenue certainty despite challenging subsidy and grid connection requirements.

• Hybrid project in Brandenburg combining 44.5 MW of photovoltaic capacity and a 5 MW / 10 MWh battery energy storage system
• Long-term revenue security through a seven-year power purchase agreement (PPA) and tolling agreement
• Intelligent market integration under complex subsidy and grid connection requirements

 

Leipzig/Dauerthal, 30.06.2026 – ENERTRAG, Energy2market GmbH (e2m), and EDF Trading have agreed on a long-term marketing and revenue stabilization solution for the Brüssow hybrid project in Brandenburg, Germany. The project combines a 44.5 MW photovoltaic (PV) plant with a battery energy storage system (BESS) rated at 5 MW and 10 MWh, demonstrating the intelligent integration of renewable power generation and flexibility. Projects of this kind are considered an important building block of the energy transition, as battery storage systems make electricity from renewable sources available more flexibly over time and thereby support the more effective integration of wind and solar power into the energy system.

A particularly noteworthy feature of the project is its connection to a shared grid connection point. The photovoltaic plant and battery storage system share grid connection capacity with other assets at the site, including an additional 20 MW battery storage system and wind turbines with a combined capacity of 33 MW. At the same time, the project is subject to subsidy-related regulatory requirements that must be considered in both commercial optimization and operational management.

To optimize project economics and secure long-term revenues, the partners have developed an integrated marketing concept. A seven-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with EDF Trading underpins the structure, providing revenue certainty and enabling active market optimization. e2m will market the battery storage system for the first five years under a green power co-location model and for an additional two years under a grey power co-location model, through a seven-year tolling agreement. Together, this approach delivers a robust and flexible framework for the project’s economic performance.

“The Brüssow project demonstrates how renewable generation, storage flexibility, and intelligent market integration can be combined into a commercially viable overall concept,” says Julien Demoustier, Originator at e2m. “Particularly challenging aspects include the integration of different technologies at a shared grid connection point and compliance with subsidy-related regulations. Together with ENERTRAG and EDF Trading, we have succeeded in developing a long-term solution that combines revenue certainty with optimal market integration.”

ENERTRAG also sees the collaboration as an important step towards a more integrated and flexible renewable energy system.
“Hybrid projects such as Brüssow are an important building block on the path towards ENERTRAG’s Renewable Energy Power Plant of the Future (Verbundkraftwerk®). Combining solar power, battery storage and wind energy requires tailored route-to-market solutions. With e2m and EDF Trading, we have found partners who are committed to addressing the specific requirements of such projects together with us,” says Dr Pooja Kukulies, Senior Vice President Energy Systems at ENERTRAG.

“Long-term power purchase agreements make an important contribution to financing and enabling new renewable energy projects,” explains Felix Fellmann, Senior Originator at EDF Trading. “Through the seven-year PPA for the Brüssow project, we are supporting, together with ENERTRAG and e2m, an innovative asset concept that intelligently combines generation and flexibility. Partnerships like this are a key building block in the continued transformation of the energy system.”

The Brüssow project demonstrates how renewable energy projects can be successfully realized through the collaboration of different partners. In an increasingly dynamic market environment, predictable revenues are essential to enable investment. The combination of renewable power generation, battery storage, intelligent route-to-market solutions and long-term revenue certainty provides the commercial foundation needed to deliver innovative projects and accelerate the expansion of renewable energy.
