Lightsource BP and Kajoni Team Up for Ambitious 500MW Solar Push in Germany
Lightsource BP, a global leader in solar development, has joined forces with Kajoni Energie to power up Germany’s clean energy future. Together, the two companies have committed to developing over 500MW of utility-scale solar projects across Germany over the next two to three years.
A Strategic Solar Partnership to Accelerate Germany’s Green Transition
The collaboration will focus on creating a robust pipeline of solar projects, each with a minimum capacity of 20MW. With Kajoni’s deep local expertise and Lightsource BP’s global experience, the partnership aims to fast-track Germany’s shift towards renewable energy. Kajoni will be responsible for identifying ideal sites of at least 20 hectares, securing all the necessary permits, and bringing these projects to ready-to-build status in close cooperation with Lightsource BP. Once construction begins, Lightsource BP will take full ownership of the projects.
“Lower Saxony, where Kajoni has strong roots, offers immense potential for solar power,” said Stephan Jeznita, Head of Business Development Germany at Lightsource BP. “We are determined to expand our footprint in the German market, and working with local partners like Kajoni is key to scaling up our greenfield development operations.”
Local Expertise Meets Global Experience
Kajoni, known for its regional presence and knowledge in Lower Saxony, is a perfect match for Lightsource BP’s ambitious growth plans. “We sought a partner that aligns with our solar development ambitions, and Lightsource BP fits the bill perfectly,” said Manuel Stiller, Managing Director of Kajoni. “Their extensive experience as a utility-scale solar developer and operator worldwide, combined with their capital and expertise, positions them as an ideal partner to support Germany’s renewable energy targets.”
Paving the Way for Solar Growth in Germany
Having entered the German market in 2023, Lightsource BP has set an ambitious goal to become one of the leading solar project developers in the country, aiming to bring 500MW of solar capacity to the grid annually. This new partnership with Kajoni marks a significant step toward achieving that vision.
The combined strengths of Kajoni’s local market insights and Lightsource BP’s global reach and resources promise a bright future for Germany’s solar energy landscape. As they roll out these large-scale solar projects, the collaboration is set to not only boost clean energy production but also create economic opportunities and strengthen Germany’s energy independence. #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Germany #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #CleanPower #UtilityScaleSolar #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #LightsourceBP #Kajoni
