The Greenvolt Group has improved its solar energy generation portfolio by securing 5% of the capacity in the first large-scale solar capacity auction held this year by Germany. Through MaxSolar, the company acquired rights to construct roughly 100 MW of large-scale solar projects in Germany's reference market for renewable energy. The auction offered a total capacity of approximately 1,950 MW, with 347 bids put forward, totaling 2,869 MW, much higher than the capacity up for grabs. MaxSolar secured around 100 MW, raising its profile as a leading company in solar photovoltaic project development, implementation, and management in Germany and Austria.

Germany's Federal Grid Agency, the Bundesnetzagentur, organized the large-scale solar capacity auction in a bid to boost renewable energy production. MaxSolar won the rights to build and manage roughly 100 MW of solar projects. The acquisition and participation in the auction strengthen the Greenvolt Group's position in the renewable energy sector, aligning it with the present global move towards reducing carbon emissions and boosting sustainable growth.
