Bridging the Solar Investment Gap
Bridging the Solar Investment Gap
Building a >1GWh grid-scale energy storage portfolio combining solar generation, stand-alone BESS and hybrid assets.
Solar 45 is developing one of Portugal’s emerging independent renewable energy platforms, combining utility-scale solar generation with grid-scale battery storage assets. The company’s strategy is focused on acquiring, developing and optimising strategically located assets where battery storage can unlock significant additional value from Portugal’s accelerating energy transition.
The platform combines the flagship Santa Marta 200MW solar project, with potential integration of approximately 600MWh of battery storage, alongside a diversified BESS development pipeline exceeding 550MWh across stand-alone, co-located and hybridisation opportunities.
Each site is selected for its scale, sunlight exposure, and development potential.
