The Baden-Württemberg-based solar specialist hep solar and the project development and consulting firm MMR Projekt GmbH from Hesse plan to jointly build ground-mounted solar power plants in the Frankfurt metropolitan area. In the first phase, three projects with a total capacity of approximately 20 MWp will be developed. The projects are all located in Hesse, northeast of Frankfurt. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026.
hep solar and MMR Projekt GmbH Launch Partnership
As a local company, MMR Projekt GmbH is handling the project development. The solar specialist hep solar is responsible for electricity sales, construction, and the operation of the solar parks.
Bruno Belfort, Senior Director of Project Development Germany at hep solar, said: “We are very pleased about this partnership, which allows us to further expand our regional collaborations and partnerships and create long-term planning security for both sides. We expect synergies in particular from MMR’s regional presence in development and our expertise in electricity marketing, financing, and engineering.”
Robin Lehmberg, Managing Director of MMR Projekt GmbH, adds: “Through our cooperation with hep solar, we have the opportunity to operate the projects we implement locally on a long-term basis and to continue incorporating the synergies and local networks of the individual stakeholders into the projects. For example, we are planning nature and energy educational trails, will host the 2027 State Garden Show in our region, and are strongly committed to regional and nonprofit organizations, which leads to a strong integration of renewable energy projects with local communities.”
