Green Hedge

What Green Hedge does

Green Hedge Infra GmbH is a Berlin-based, founder-owned developer and operator of utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) and solar photovoltaic parks, founded in 2010 by Dr. Niels Kröner. The company runs an end-to-end project development model: site selection, technical design, permitting (including fire protection, noise alleviation, and landscape integration), construction, grid connection, and commercial operation, after which completed projects are sold to utilities, grid operators, and infrastructure investors. Since founding it has developed more than 200 MW of solar capacity across over twenty projects and 360 MW / 720 MWh of battery storage across twelve sites, including the UK's first transmission-connected battery (Kemsley, 50 MW, delivered for EDF Renewables) and a hybrid lithium-ion/flow battery installation (Cowley, 50 MW).

The business has two distinct revenue streams. The primary stream is one-time project sales to enterprise buyers such as EDF Renewables and Econergy International, with the most recent transaction being the October 2025 sale of a 100 MW German BESS project to Econergy International. A secondary, historical stream is operations and maintenance services, previously delivered through a subsidiary that was divested alongside the UK operations to an infrastructure fund. Green Hedge is a GmbH (private limited company), currently operates with 11–50 employees, and is led by founder Dr. Niels Kröner alongside Managing Director Adrien Lebrun (Chartered Engineer; ex-Pivot Power/EDF Renewables), who returned in 2023 to lead the deliberate pivot of corporate focus from the UK to the German stationary battery storage market.

Revenue model

1. Project Development and Sale: End-to-end development of battery storage and solar projects from technical design and permitting through construction, grid connection, and commercial operation. Completed projects are sold to utilities, grid operators, and infrastructure investors. Revenue is realized through project sales rather than long-term asset ownership.
2. Operations and Management Services: The company previously operated its own operations management subsidiary (sold to an infrastructure fund), indicating historical experience in providing ongoing operational services for battery storage and solar installations.

Core offering

Green Hedge develops and delivers utility-scale stationary battery storage systems (10–100 MW) and ground-mounted solar photovoltaic parks (over 200 MW developed since 2010). The company provides end-to-end project development from technical design and permitting (including fire protection, noise protection, and landscape integration) through construction, grid connection, and commercial operation, then sells the completed energy infrastructure assets to utilities, grid operators, and infrastructure investors. Current focus is on the German market for large stationary battery storage.

Product overview

Green Hedge is a project developer offering two core product lines: large-scale stationary battery storage systems (10–100 MW) and solar park (photovoltaic) development (over 200 MW completed). The company provides end-to-end project development services encompassing technical design, construction planning, fire protection, noise protection, landscaping, construction, grid connection, and commercial operation management. The product portfolio includes completed reference projects in the UK (Kings Barn 10 MW, Kemsley 50 MW, Cowley 50 MW with hybrid lithium-ion/flow battery, Russell Farm 20 MW, South Marston/Sevor Farm 15.3 MW, Little Staughton 50 MW solar) and a recent 100 MW project sale in Germany. The company focuses on the German market for future battery storage development.

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Battery Storage Projects (Stationary Batteries) Large-scale stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) ranging from 10 MW to 100 MW capacity, designed to stabilize the power grid, balance supply and demand, smooth electricity prices, and reduce curtailment of renewable energy. Includes hybrid installations combining lithium-ion and flow battery technologies (as at the 50 MW Cowley site) and transmission-grid-connected projects (as at the 50 MW Kemsley site). Sold to utilities, grid operators, and infrastructure investors.
• Solar Park Development (Photovoltaic Ground-Mounted) Ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, including technical design, construction permits, fire protection, noise protection, landscaping concepts, construction, grid connection, and commercial operation. Over 200 MW of capacity developed across more than twenty projects since 2010, including subsidy-free parks such as the 50 MW Little Staughton site.
• End-to-End Project Development Services Full-cycle infrastructure project development services covering site selection, technical design, planning permissions, environmental assessments (fire protection, noise alleviation, screening planting), electrical and civil engineering, construction, grid connection, and commercial operation management for utility-scale battery storage and solar PV assets on behalf of utilities, grid operators, and infrastructure investors.
