Developer WBS Power has sold the 150MW solar, 500MW/2,000MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) Project Jupiter in Brandenburg, Germany, to investor Prime Capital.
WBS acquired the site for the clean energy project in 2022, and the project will require €500 million (US$583 million), with construction expected in late 2026/early 2027. Both technologies will share a 380kV grid connection in the area of TSO 50Hertz. The acquisition is subject to Project Jupiter reaching ready-to-build (RTB) status.
