Navaris, a leading German renewable energy platform with a focus on the acquisition, development, construction and management of renewable energy infrastructure, has been awarded 11 onshore wind projects in the latest onshore tender. With a total capacity of 304.5 MW, Navaris was successful with 100% of its submitted bids.
The awards cover 46 wind turbines and correspond to more than 12 percent of the total volume awarded in this tender round. After commissioning, the projects are expected to supply around 200,000 households with renewable electricity, thus contributing to regional decarbonization and national climate targets.
The result is one of the strongest tender successes in the company’s history and comes at an important stage of further development: The announcement comes just a few days after the brand change of the German Qualitas Energy platform to Navaris. Navaris bundles the teams, projects and competencies built up by Qualitas Energy since 2018 and has a clear focus on the German market for renewable energies.
Johannes Overbeck, CEO of Navaris, says: “The award of 100% of our submitted bids is an outstanding achievement and a strong confirmation of the quality of our project portfolio, our development expertise and the commitment of our teams across Germany. The result shows the size and maturity of our platform and gives us additional tailwind for the next chapter of our development under the name Navaris.”
The tender round was again significantly oversubscribed. The Federal Network Agency awarded 237 bids with a total capacity of 2,523 MW; a total of 461 bids with a volume of around 5,250 MW were submitted. The volume awarded to Navaris thus corresponds to a share of more than 10% of the total result and underlines the company’s ability to successfully develop projects and bring them to the point of approval.
The awards strengthen the growing platform, which includes a project volume of more than 3 GW in advanced development, within a broader early-stage pipeline in the multi-gigawatt range. In addition, Navaris currently manages 1.3 GW of renewable energy plants in operation or under construction throughout Germany.
Navaris combines in-depth local market knowledge with integrated technical, financial and operational competencies along the entire renewable energy value chain – from project acquisition and development to construction and operation to long-term asset management. More than 200 experts work at six locations in Germany, including Berlin, Hamburg, Wiesbaden, Trier, Cologne and Stuttgart.
The tender result underlines the strength of the project pipeline and the company’s ambition to continue to play an active role in shaping the expansion of renewable energies in Germany.
