Osborne Clarke advises Green Hedge Infra GmbH on sale of 100 MW battery energy storage project in Senftenberg to Econergy International

The transaction underscores the growing role of large-scale storages in Germany’s energy transition.

Green Hedge Infra GmbH (Green Hedge) has announced the sale of its 100 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Senftenberg, Germany, to Econergy International Ltd. Designed to deliver grid‑stabilising ancillary services and support the integration of renewables into the German power system, the project represents another important step in scaling large‑format storage solutions across the country. The transaction was completed in June 2025, financial terms were not disclosed.

Adrien Lebrun, Managing Director of Green Hedge, said: “The sale of our 100 MW battery storage project in Senftenberg is a major milestone for Green Hedge and highlights the central role that large‑scale storage plays in Germany’s energy transition. I am particularly pleased with the highly constructive, pragmatic and trust‑based collaboration between all parties — with Econergy International on the buy‑side and the advisory teams involved. Thanks to this close alignment, we were able to complete the transaction efficiently and with clear focus in a demanding market environment.”

The Senftenberg BESS is intended to provide system services that enhance grid stability while enabling a higher share of variable renewable generation. As Germany accelerates its decarbonisation pathway, flexible assets such as utility‑scale storage will be increasingly critical to balance the system, reduce congestion and maximise the efficient use of clean power.
