Photovoltaic developer Greencells Group has entered into an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, along with an operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement, with British company Enray Power for a 68.48 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar project located in Camblesforth, North Yorkshire. This operation represents a further step in the German firm’s expansion strategy within the British market.

A portfolio built since 2014

Active in the United Kingdom since 2014, Greencells has delivered nearly 50 projects across the country, with a combined capacity exceeding 500 MWp. The Camblesforth project will be added to this portfolio, covering not only standard EPC services, but also the long-term operational management of the installation.

The agreement also includes the integration of a battery energy storage system with a capacity of 25.15 megawatt-hours (MWh), forming a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This infrastructure will enable the flexible injection of 10 megawatt-alternating current (MWac) over a two-hour period, supporting local grid stability.

Operational alignment and strategic cooperation

The project was confirmed during the Intersolar Europe trade fair in Munich, where the respective Chief Executive Officers, Fabian Herr for Greencells and Philip Price for Enray Power, met to finalise the technical and logistical details of the development. The stated objective of both companies is to reinforce their commitment to the UK market within a regulatory framework they already operate in.

“With Camblesforth, we continue a decade of project execution in the UK,” stated Fabian Herr, Chief Executive Officer of Greencells Group, in an official statement. This cooperation falls within the scope of an integrated project model combining photovoltaic production with storage, without modifying the connection scheme to the grid.

Towards standardisation of hybrid models

According to the information released by the company, the integration of a BESS system from the outset of the project reflects a shift towards standardising such hybrid models in the United Kingdom. This format is expected to grow, supported by rising demand for energy flow adjustment across the distribution network.

The commissioning date has not yet been specified, but Greencells confirmed that once operational, the facility will be monitored under a long-term maintenance contract executed by local teams. This recurring model aims to ensure asset performance and secure technical returns throughout the project lifecycle.
