Orrön Energy AB has announced progress across its greenfield platforms, securing grid connections in the United Kingdom and municipal approvals in Germany.
Following the conclusion of the UK grid reform process, the company has secured connections for six large-scale projects with a combined estimated capacity of 2.9GW.
The UK developments include three solar energy projects totalling 1.8GW and three data centre projects with a combined capacity of 1.1GW. With land and grid connections secured, these projects have reached the ready-to-permit stage.
The company expects to receive binding grid offers and specific connection dates during the third quarter of 2026, at which point it will evaluate divestment options.
In Germany, three solar projects totalling approximately 250MW have received approval from local municipalities. Orrön Energy is also advancing a pipeline of large-scale battery projects and expects to receive grid confirmation early this year.
This follows a recent sales process where 310MW of projects were sold for a total consideration of MEUR 18, contingent on reaching specific development milestones.
Daniel Fitzgerald, CEO of Orrön Energy, commented: “Securing the Gate 2 grid connections in the UK enables us to move ahead with some of the discussions that were temporarily paused due to the now concluded grid reform process,” Fitzgerald said.
The company continues to mature its pipeline as part of its strategy to realise value from its development assets. Fitzgerald added: “The German platform has reached a level of maturity where project monetisation is underway.
“With an average sales price of around 55 TEUR (Thousand Euros) per MW during 2025, combined with the scale of our portfolio, I am confident that this will deliver significant value for us moving forward.”
