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 asset is selected for its scale, grid connection and storage potential.

Solar45 takes solar and battery storage projects from early stage through planning and grid connection to Ready to Build.
One Vision for Scalable Energy Growth
1
Utility scale solar is the foundation of the platform. Solar45 acquires early stage projects in high irradiance regions of Portugal and progresses them through planning and grid connection, with the aim of an institutional exit at Ready to Build.
2
Tap into the next wave of energy growth. Solar45 is expanding into battery storage projects that solve grid volatility and unlock premium pricing. Backed by new regulations and growing demand, these assets offer both strategic value and return potential within a fast-evolving energy landscape.

As solar scales up, battery storage becomes essential.
Solar45 is developing stand alone, co located and hybrid storage projects that help balance the grid and capture value from price volatility.
Solar output peaks at midday, when prices are low, and fades as evening demand rises. Batteries shift that energy to when it is needed most, giving each asset several potential revenue streams.
With new regulations and streamlined permitting, Portugal is just beginning its storage journey. Solar45 offers a first-mover advantage in this fast-growing market.
Together, they bring deep expertise across renewable energy and financial governance. Solar45 is built on decades of experience in renewable energy development and financial governance.
