LONGi and BNZ Sign Framework Agreement for 336MW of Solar Projects in Southern Europe
A landmark partnership has been established between LONGi and renowned independent power producer BNZ, forging a strong alliance to boost renewable energy capacity in Southern Europe. This agreement represents a pivotal moment in BNZ’s journey towards expanding its renewable energy footprint.
BNZ, operating under the Nuveen Infrastructure’s Europe Clean Energy Fund III—a prominent fund focused on renewable energy investments—targets achieving an impressive capacity of over 500MW by the end of this year across Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Notably, four projects in Spain and Italy, collectively contributing 130MW to this total, are already harnessing LONGi’s solar modules.
This partnership builds upon an already successful collaboration between the two companies. BNZ has opted to directly source solar modules from LONGi for its upcoming 2025 solar projects pipeline across Europe, amounting to a substantial 336MW.
Underpinning this ambitious endeavor, BNZ will acquire LONGi’s state-of-the-art Hi-MO 7 and Hi-MO 9 module series. These advanced products are poised to significantly enhance energy output, underscoring BNZ’s unwavering commitment to delivering sustainable and dependable solar energy solutions.
According to Daniel Sánchez, Director at BNZ, “We hold a steadfast belief in collaborating with strategic partners that align with our vision for a sustainable future. This agreement with LONGi signifies a monumental step towards delivering superior quality and efficient renewable energy solutions.”
Echoing this sentiment, BNZ MD Luis Selva stated, “Our dedication to driving the energy transition is mirrored in our collaboration with LONGi.
