The project will be supported by first loss risk cover deployed under the EBRD’s InvestEU Framework for Sustainable Transition, which aims to foster sustainable investment and convergence to EU norms, and will contribute to the Bulgarian green energy transition. This is the first use of the InvestEU guarantee by the EBRD in Bulgaria.

The Tenevo plant will add 238 MW of solar generation capacity to the Bulgarian national energy system, with a long-term plan to add on a 250MW capacity of behind-the-meter energy storage. This is an important project to advance towards Bulgaria’s ambitious net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 and reduce reliance on coal generation, which still dominates in the power system.

Gender SMART project

The project will be the first renewable energy plant over 100 MW that will sell all its output in the market without a support scheme or a corporate power purchase agreement in Bulgaria. The project is designated as Gender SMART as the Sponsors and the Company committed to sign the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles to promote gender equality across the male-dominated energy sector in Bulgaria. It will also strengthen the private sector presence in the renewable energy sector in Bulgaria.

Tenevo Solar Technologies EAD is a joint stock company incorporated in Bulgaria to construct and operate this plant. It is equally owned by two partners. One is Renalfa IPP, an Austrian joint venture between Renalfa Solarpro Group, a Vienna-based clean energy and e-mobility company, and RGreen Invest, a French renewables infrastructure fund. The second is Eurowind Energy, a Danish renewable energy developer and independent power producer.

This rising ambition is driving renewed interest in the sector, seeing about 1.3 GW of additional solar PV capacity being built over the past two years. In addition, this month Bulgaria’s decarbonisation efforts have taken an important leap forward with the conclusion of the country’s first renewable energy with co-located battery energy storage systems tender, which awarded grants to over 3 GW of new solar PV projects. This is part of Bulgaria’s Recovery and Resilience Plan targets, which is also supported by EBRD, and aim for commissioning of at least another 3.5 GW of renewable capacity by 2026.

InvestEU Programme supports sustainable investments

The EBRD is a leading Implementing Partner for the EU’s InvestEU Programme, which supports sustainable investment, innovation and job creation in the European Union. It aims to trigger more than €372 billion in additional investment between 2021 and 2027. Between 2022 and 2027 InvestEU guarantees worth €635 million will be leveraged by the EBRD to finance investments of up to €2.7 billion in eligible sectors. (hcn)

Karavasta Solar was initiated following a call for tenders by the Albanian government for this project in 2022 and won by Voltalia, an international player in renewable energies. Trina Solar has partnered with Voltalia for this project and has been selected to provide its ultra-high performance Vertex dual-glass bifacial modules. They are mounted on single-axis trackers to suit the flat terrain of the plant, offering an installed capacity of 140 MWp.

The project is estimated to be live by end of 2023. It is set to yield 265 GWh per year, covering the annual electricity needs of 220,000 inhabitants and saving approximately 29,165 tonnes of CO2 per year.

PPA revenue model

Karavasta Solar is developed, built and operated by Voltalia, is financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (ERBD) and will feature a PPA revenue model. This implies that 50% of the electricity produced will be sold through a 15-year sales contract to the Albanian public operator, while the remainder will be sold through long-term contracts to private operators.

Demonstrating Voltalia’s commitment to caring for the communities in which their projects are based, 1% of the company’s total investment in Karavasta Solar will go towards social initiatives in the area. Additionally, 30% or more of the workforce is sourced from the local community in Albania during both construction and operation. Around 200 people are employed during construction of the project, and during operation, there will be 10-15 direct employees and 20-50 indirect employees working on site.

A key component of the green transition will be balancing consumption and production of green electricity. This requires renewable energy companies, like Better Energy, to develop integrated strategies that allow for flexibility in the power grid. The BESS project at Hoby solar park will allow Better Energy to offer ancillary services and frequency control to help the Danish TSO, Energinet, regulate the power grid.

Better Energy has previously collaborated with Energinet to certify its Væggerløse solar park to provide frequency services, an example of the strong collaboration between renewable energy companies and grid operators needed to achieve a stable and reliable power grid.

“As renewable energy production becomes more dominant in the energy system, it is important that new technologies and renewable energy companies also contribute to the balancing market and support the stability of the systems,” says Thomas Dalgas Fechtenburg, Senior Manager, Ancillary Services at Energinet. “Therefore, it is great to see that Better Energy is enabling more flexible operation by installing a relatively large battery in their park.”

An energy system based on renewable energy

Better Energy’s first BESS project is in anticipation of an energy system based on renewable energy and underlines the importance of flexibility. Through early-stage energy storage and discharge planning, Better Energy can contribute to stabilising the power grid and electricity prices. The BESS project presents the opportunity to store excess energy at peak times for renewable energy and work toward ensuring green electricity is regularly available.

“As we increase the amount of green energy we can produce, we need to take responsibility and actively work with the grid companies to develop strategies that allow for a flexible power grid driven by renewable energy,” says Viggo Aavang, Senior Vice President of Power Markets at Better Energy. “The BESS project connected to our Hoby solar park creates another opportunity for us to promote flexibility which is crucial in order to build a system based on renewables.”

One of the largest BESS projects in Denmark  

Better Energy’s BESS project is expected to provide 12 MWh of energy storage, one of the largest planned projects in connection with a solar park in Denmark to date. The Hoby solar park was grid-connected in August 2023 and has a production capacity of 70 GWh. The BESS is expected to be installed and operational by the end of 2024.(hcn)

Tomasz Bodetko: Projekt Solartechnik Group is among the leading renewable energy developers in Poland. We have secured grid connection conditions for over 1 GW of pv projects and nearly 400 MW of battery energy storage projects. Currently, more than 250 MW of our solar farms are operational, generating green energy. We are also in the early stages of developing wind energy projects.

DRI moves forward with 133 MW battery storage project in Trzebinia

What is your job?

The company I represent, PST Trade, is an energy trading entity that not only maximizes returns from our assets but also offers green energy solutions for businesses and purchases green energy from other producers. Our operations are further enhanced by the sale of renewable energy projects and turnkey pv farms.

Subscribe now to our monthly special newsletter for investors!

What services or products does PST offer?

Our mission is to provide innovative solutions in the renewable energy sector, particularly for industries that rely on green energy, through products like Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) and Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPA). For instance, we are one of the few companies capable of offering clients a fully operational pv farm. With CPPA we can supply energy tailored to their business needs. This enables our clients to become energy producers, aligning with ESG trends.

Central and Eastern Europe increasingly in the solar gigawatt class

Does it mean, one project for one costumer only?

We also offer portions of our renewable energy projects at various stages to other investors, such as Independent Power Producers (IPPs), large corporations, or investment funds. This allows for faster acquisition and development of assets by entities that may otherwise face delays or are not currently active in the Polish market.

Polish Development Bank signs financing agreement with R.Power

Is your focus primarily on the national, European, or international market?

At present, our primary focus is on the Polish market. However, we are also active in Germany, where we are developing solar farm projects.

More news and insigts about the Polish market

Which developments in the Polish market do you expect for the next 12 months?

In Poland, the key development needed is the expansion of energy storage facilities to balance power supply within the grid. This is the most critical factor that will facilitate further growth of PV farms. Without the implementation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), we anticipate an increase in solar farm curtailments and a subsequent drop in prices, which could make these projects economically less viable.

The three Flame Towers are the modern landmark of the vibrant metropolis of Baku. In the evening, their glass façades bathed in LED projections flicker like blazing flames across the skyline of the Azerbaijani capital. The striking skyscrapers are symbolic in two respects. On the one hand, they are a reminder of the ancient heritage of the “Land of Fire” (the literal translation of Azerbaijan) and, on the other, of the economically dominant oil and gas industry.

Oil, gas and oil products account for 90 percent of exports and 60 percent of the national budget of this country of 10 million inhabitants on the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan was part of the Soviet Union for 70 years before regaining its independence in 1991.

Gas from the Caspian Sea instead of Siberia

As a result of the Western boycott measures against Russia due to the attack on Ukraine, Azerbaijan has become more of a focus, particularly as a gas supplier for Europe. Gas from the Caspian Sea is to replace gas from Siberia. Natural gas deliveries to the European Union increased from around 8 billion cubic meters in 2022 to around 12 billion cubic meters in 2023. Natural gas imports to the EU are set to rise to around 20 billion cubic meters by 2027 in accordance with a bilateral agreement from 2022.

In addition, Bulgaria is currently negotiating with Azerbaijan on additional gas supplies to Romania, Moldova and Ukraine via the future Balkan Gas Corridor. Bulgaria has been connected to the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (Tap) via a new gas pipeline to Greece for one and a half years. This transports natural gas from Azerbaijan via Turkey to Greece and on to Italy.

“We will save a lot of gas that Europe needs”

Azerbaijan’s strong man, President Ilham Aliyev, sees the increasing gas exports to Europe and the parallel expansion of renewable energies as a “win-win situation”, as he emphasized last Friday (26 April) at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Berlin. Ministers from 40 countries had gathered in Berlin to prepare for the next World Climate Summit (COP29), which Azerbaijan will host in November this year.

This is because more renewable energy in Azerbaijan means that less gas will be burned in power plants for its own supply. “We will save a lot of gas that Europe needs,” said Aliyev. Azerbaijan wants to expand installed renewable power generation from solar and wind parks to 5 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, compared to 1.3 GW at present.

“Defending the right” to continue producing fossil fuels

Aliyev also reported that a feasibility study on the construction of transmission lines for offshore wind power from the Caspian Sea to Europe, including an undersea cable under the Black Sea, is in the final stages. This would enable Azerbaijan to export green electricity to Europe on a larger scale in the future. “As the head of government of a country rich in fossil fuels, we will defend the right of these countries to continue producing and investing, because both are necessary. At the same time, however, fossil fuel countries should also be among those who show solidarity on climate change issues,” Aliyev clarified.

35 percent less CO2 by 2030

Azerbaijan ratified the Paris Climate Agreement in 2017. The country aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 35 percent by 2030 and by 40 percent by 2050 (compared to 1990 levels). “I hope that the World Climate Conference will provide important impetus. I believe that we can be pioneers in the green transformation,” emphasized Elnur Soltanov, Deputy Energy Minister and COP29 Executive Director, at a press conference with international journalists in Baku in mid-April. The practical implementation of climate protection measures is crucial.

Teymur Guliyev, Deputy Director General of the state energy company SOCAR (State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan), expressed a similar view. The company’s strategy is geared towards decarbonization and corporate sustainability. The subsidiary SOCAR Green LLC was founded to drive forward projects in the areas of renewable energies, green hydrogen and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage).

Big plans for wind, PV and green hydrogen

These include agreements with the state-owned energy company Masdar (Abu Dhabi) for the joint development of 2 GW of photovoltaic and onshore wind projects as well as the production of green hydrogen from 2 GW of offshore wind energy. A 240 megawatt (MW) solar park, which is being developed jointly with AIC and BP, is due to be connected to the grid at the end of 2025. SOCAR has also already implemented its first renewable energy projects abroad, such as wind farms in Turkey and solar projects in Georgia and Romania.

At the most recent World Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai, SOCAR joined the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), which more than 50 companies worldwide have signed up to so far. The goals are net-zero emissions by 2050, no routine flaring of associated gas in oil and gas production by 2030 and virtually no methane emissions in the upstream sector.

Efforts to reduce methane emissions

To reduce methane emissions, the company has launched a Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) project under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In collaboration with Total Energies, drones are being used to detect and quantify methane emissions from offshore activities, and SOCAR is participating in a satellite measurement program to accurately identify methane emissions.

By participating in the OGMP 2.0 (Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0) initiative, which is also under the auspices of the United Nations, SOCAR intends to further intensify its efforts to reduce methane emissions, reported Guliyev.

230 MW Garadagh solar park, 75 km outside of Baku.

Solar power from Garadagh

A greener – at least somewhat – energy future for Azerbaijan has already begun in concrete terms around 75 kilometers southwest of Baku. The 570,000 photovoltaic modules of the 230 MW Garadagh solar park stretch almost to the horizon of the barren, dusty steppe landscape.  Masdar is the operator and investor of the plant, which went into operation last year, and several international development banks, including the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development), have provided a loan package.

The approximately 500 million kilowatt hours will be supplied to SOCAR via a multi-year power purchase agreement (PPA); the contractual partner is the Azerbaijani Ministry of Energy, which also owns the land. The plant is connected to the electricity grid via a new 330-kilovolt substation.

330-kilovolt substation of the Garadagh solar park.

More battery storage in future

The technology at the solar park is of the highest quality: bifacial high-performance modules from Longi, mounted on single-axis trackers, and string inverters from Sungrov. In the evenings and at night, cleaning robots that do not require water clean the modules. “Otherwise, the yield would be 20 to 30 percent lower,” reports Kamran Huseynov, Deputy Head of the Azerbaijan Renewable Energy Agency (AREA).

However, he sees the existing electricity grid capacities as a limiting factor for the further expansion of solar and wind projects in the country – as is the case in many places. This is why new projects are increasingly being planned in combination with battery storage systems. A few days ago, the Ministry of Energy in Baku, with the support of the EBRD, announced the first state tender for renewable energies, a 100 MW solar park in Gobustan, albeit without mandatory battery storage.

Smart Village as a blueprint for green energy zone

The Smart Village pilot project in Zangilan focuses on a decentralized supply of renewable energy. Azerbaijani troops recaptured the town in fertile, water-rich Nagorno-Karabakh during the war with Armenia in October 2020. Since then, around 200 low-energy houses with solar thermal systems have already been built in the smart village. Around 175 Azerbaijani families have been resettled – on a voluntary basis,” emphasizes Vahid Hajiyev, Special Presidential Envoy for the region.

Smart Village Zangilan/Nagorno-Karabakh.

Smart Village Zangilan/Nagorno-Karabakh.

The electricity is supplied by a small hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 636 kilowatts on the edge of the settlement, which uses German technology. In addition, a school, a kindergarten, a health center, craft businesses, an eco-hotel, agricultural land for self-sufficiency and a rail connection are also being built on the site, which is equipped with high-speed Internet. According to Hajiyev, the planning is based on the sustainability goals of the United Nations.

The Smart Village is intended to serve as a blueprint for the massive reconstruction of the so-called “liberated areas” in Nagorno-Karabakh as a green energy zone.

The project developers Goldbeck Solar and Imwind are jointly constructing a solar park in Gaweinstal, Lower Austria. The plant will have an output of five megawatts. The electricity will be purchased in full by the drugstore chain DM. The three partners have concluded a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for this purpose. In this way, Goldbeck Solar and Imwind can refinance the plant and DM has capped its energy costs for the agreed supply period.

Spotlight Solar: Meet farmers at Energy Decental

PPA concluded

DM can cover the electricity requirements of around 70 shops in Austria with the system. This is one sixth of the total electricity requirements of DM shops in the Alpine republic. This works all the better because Goldbeck and Imwind will mount the solar modules from Trina on 8,200 trackers that follow the path of the sun. This results in an even distribution of power generation throughout the day – in contrast to the fixed installation of the modules, where the system generates little power in the morning and evening, but has a huge yield peak at midday.

By permanently realigning the modules according to the position of the sun, the system also achieves up to 20 per cent more yield compared to a fixed installation. However, the trackers have even more advantages. According to the project partners, such systems have the potential to improve the microclimate in the area and reduce water evaporation.

Vertical modules

In addition, the modules can be set up almost vertically in cultivation mode. This makes it possible to continue using the area almost entirely for agricultural purposes. This is why the project was specifically geared towards the agri-PV farmer and coordinated with the farmer, who continues to use the area for roughage cultivation and livestock farming. This saves the farmer having to buy in feed for his animals from the Waldviertel.

Economic and ecological benefits

In this way, the project also saves further CO2, as the feed does not have to be transported from the Waldviertel to Gaweinstal. “With the Agri-PV Park in Gaweinstal, we are sending a strong signal for the combination of sustainable energy generation and agricultural use,” emphasises Tobias Schüssler, who is responsible for operations at Goldbeck Solar. “This project shows how innovative technologies can offer economic and ecological benefits at the same time.”
