ABO Energy Launches Solar, Storage EPC Unit

• ABO Energy steps into EPC, delivering turnkey solar and solar-plus-storage—from design to build—streamlining projects and scaling its German renewables footprint amid surging clean-power demand.

ABO Energy GmbH & Co KGaA (ETR:AB9), the German renewables developer, has expanded its business by launching engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for solar and solar-plus-storage projects. The new offer adds delivery capabilities alongside its development activities, positioning the company to execute photovoltaic and hybrid installations under a contract structure.

The EPC rollout extends ABO Energy’s scope across project design, component sourcing and on-site construction for customers seeking integrated solar or solar-storage solutions. The company said the expansion builds on its expertise in renewables, aiming to streamline project delivery and broaden its market amid rising demand for clean-power infrastructure.

How does ABO Energy’s new EPC arm reshape its solar and storage offerings?

• Converts ABO Energy from a pure developer into a turnkey builder, offering one-contract delivery for PV and hybrid plants
  
• Unifies design, procurement, and construction to cut interfaces, compress schedules, and improve cost control
  
• Enhances bankability through EPC “wrap” guarantees on price, timeline, and performance
• Enables tighter tech selection and procurement leverage with module, inverter, and battery OEMs
  
• Optimizes hybrid design (PV+BESS) for dispatchability, curtailment mitigation, and grid-code compliance
  
• Integrates advanced controls/SCADA and energy management for revenue stacking in storage (arbitrage, reserves, capacity)
  
• Supports both AC- and DC-coupled architectures, including augmentation strategies for long-term BESS performance
  
• Improves interconnection management and grid-studies execution, reducing queue and commissioning risks
  
• Offers standardized plant designs and repeatable construction methods to lower LCOE/LCOS across markets
  
• Bundles EPC with O&M and performance monitoring, creating cradle-to-operations accountability
  
• Increases pipeline conversion by self-building projects rather than outsourcing, capturing more project margin
  
• Opens new customer segments (C&I and utility) with fixed-price EPC and EPC+O&M packages
  
• Strengthens supply-chain resilience and compliance with local content or sustainability criteria where required
  
• Facilitates financing with clearer risk allocation, aiding PPAs, merchant, and hybrid project bankability
• Positions ABO Energy for international bids that require EPC prequalification and track-record delivery
