Flower Acquires First Large-Scale BESS Project in Germany

Under the agreement, Flower will assume responsibility for financing, EPC, operations, and commercialization of the asset, while continuing project realization. The Döllnitz project has secured grid connection and the required permits, and is ready to build, with construction expected to begin in 2027 and commercial operation targeted for 2028.

“This marks the largest acquisition Flower has completed to date and represents an important milestone in our European expansion. Through this project, we formally enter the German market with a utility-scale asset that will contribute to a stable, reliable, and affordable energy system,” says Jason Morris, Head of Acquisitions & Partnerships at Flower.

The acquisition follows a period of continued progress for Flower, including confirmation as a Balance Responsible Party (BRP) in Germany and the issuance of its first bond of approximately EUR 66 million. The company has also begun implementing its advanced energy trading algorithms in the German market to enhance asset optimization and profitability.

“Germany is a key market for us as we expand across Europe. The country is accelerating its renewable build-out alongside the phase-out of coal, gas, and nuclear capacity. Energy storage plays a central role to support this shift and to maintain the country’s system stability. With this milestone project secured, Flower takes a significant step forward to advance the energy transition in Germany and beyond,” says John Diklev, founder and CEO of Flower.

The project has been developed by CCE, an international renewable energy company active across multiple European markets. The transaction establishes CCE as a strategic partner in Flower’s continued European growth.

“We are pleased to divest this large-scale project to Flower. With their deep knowledge of the energy market and solid track record in trading and optimization, Flower has established itself as a leading actor to accelerate the energy transition. We look forward to maintaining this good relationship moving forward,” says Jörg Menyesch, CEO of CCE.

In parallel with its German expansion, Flower is advancing several large-scale projects developed in-house across the Netherlands, France, and Belgium. The company’s European pipeline now represents a substantial multi-GWh portfolio of flexible energy assets.
