Flower Infrastructure buys 112 MW German BESS portfolio from Chint Group

Chint Solar Europe has agreed to sell and deliver seven BESS projects to Flower Infrastructure Technologies across the German federal states of Thuringia, Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, and Hesse, with individual project capacities ranging from 6 MW to 48 MW and storage durations of three to four hours.

All projects have secured grid connections and required permits, Chint Solar Europe said. Commissioning is scheduled throughout 2027.

Under the terms of the agreement, Flower Infrastructure Technologies will own, finance, operate, and commercialize the assets. Chint Solar Europe will deliver the projects under an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreement, including long-term operations and maintenance services.

The deal adds to Chint’s broader battery storage pipeline in Europe, which the company said includes 168 MW/513 MWh under construction contracts and more than 1 GW in development. Chint said the deal reflects its shift from a solar-only developer to an integrated energy infrastructure provider.

“Germany’s rapidly growing flexibility market requires storage assets that can be deployed quickly,” said Bernd Kipping, Chint Solar Europe’s vice president of innovation, finance, and procurement. “By combining mature project development with EPC delivery, we reduce execution risks for investors and accelerate the deployment of battery storage infrastructure.”

Some of the projects will be Flower’s first operational assets in Germany, with commissioning set to begin as early as the first quarter of 2027, said Flower Infrastructure Technologies CEO John Diklev.

Osborne Clarke advised Chint Solar Europe on the transaction.
