Germany’s Melz solar project gets N2OFF investment push

N2OFF, Inc., a cleantech company, has announced plans to increase investment in its 111 MW solar PV project in Melz, Germany. The company aims to explore integrating a 40–60 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) into the project. The Melz Municipal Committee approved the project’s inclusion in its statutory plan on December 31, 2024. This approval supported its progression to ready-to-build status by early 2026. The proposed BESS aims to store surplus solar energy or purchase grid electricity at low prices for later use during peak demand. The project is part of a joint venture with Solterra Renewable Energy Ltd. and includes collaborative efforts to develop two 98 MW/392 MWh BESS in Sicily, a 35 MW/140 MWh BESS in Poland and solar PV projects in Albania.
