WBS Power has sold Project Jupiter in Brandenburg to Prime Capital acting for its Prime Green Energy Infrastructure Fund II.
The 500MW/2000MWh battery and up to 150MWp solar scheme is on a former military airfield and is described as the largest co-located PV and storage project currently planned in Germany, the company said.
The acquisition will be executed via Jupiter JVCo S.à r.l. and is subject to the project reaching ready-to-build status, it added.
Construction is envisaged to start by late 2026 or early 2027 with an expected investment of €500m.
Both components will share a single grid connection to the 380kV line operated by 50Hertz.
The parties plan to co-locate a hyperscale data centre with a planned capacity of up to 500MW.
“Project Jupiter demonstrates our commitment to innovation and scale,” said Maciej Marcjanik, chief executive officer of WBS Power Group.
“Germany is back! This acquisition strengthens the country’s critical infrastructure by combining renewable energy and digital capacity at an unprecedented scale,” added Dr Mathias Bimberg, head of infrastructure at Prime Capital.
“We are proud to have supported WBS Power in structuring the M&A process alongside PwC for this exceptional project,” stated Alexander Enrique Kuhn, managing partner at Capcora.
“This transaction exemplifies how strategic partnerships can accelerate the energy transition while creating long-term value,” said Andrzej Rusniak, director at PwC Poland.
