Vienna/Traunstein, 29 January 2026
RP Global, a European renewable energy investor and developer, and MaxSolar, a leading German renewable energy infrastructure developer, EPC provider and IPP, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a long-term cooperation in the development and implementation of utility-scale renewable energy projects in Germany.
The partnership focuses on joint development, financing, construction and operation of ground-mounted photovoltaic and battery storage projects. The primary geographic focus will be the German market.
Under the MoU, RP Global will act as project investor and long-term shareholder and owner of the asset, responsible for final project development and the financing of project construction. MaxSolar as an established infrastructure developer and effective enabler will contribute with its strong development and execution capabilities and act as EPC contractor, delivering projects on a turnkey basis, with options for operations and maintenance as well as support in securing power purchase agreements.
This partnership combines RP Global’s long-term investment strategy and international development platform with MaxSolar’s proven track record in project development, engineering, construction and operation in the German renewable energy market.
David Tanner, Group Head of Development at RP Global, comments: “This partnership brings together two highly complementary organizations with a shared ambition: to deliver high-quality, scalable renewable energy projects in Germany. By aligning RP Global’s long-term project investment and development platform with MaxSolar’s strong infrastructure execution and EPC capabilities, we are creating a robust framework to accelerate project delivery while maintaining the highest technical and economic standards.”
Max Mages, Head of Sales, MaxSolar: “We are very pleased to enter into this framework cooperation with RP Global. The planned annual project portfolio of over 100 MW underscores a strong mutual commitment to develop future-proof infrastructure projects. Together, we aim to support RP Global development and realize competitive solar and battery projects that contribute not only to Germany’s energy transition, but to its international security and competitiveness and provide a reliable basis for sustainable growth on both sides.”
The two companies began working together on the 49.5 MW PV project Harbke, which is currently being implemented on a historic coal-mining site on the former East-West border. For this project, MaxSolar is already acting as RP Global’s EPC partner. The next joint German PV project, set to start construction in Q1/Q2 2026 will already fall under this new MoU.
This cooperation is of special significance because the future projects place a strong emphasis on the integration of energy storage - an essential component for photovoltaic generation. Storage systems allow solar power to be shifted to periods of higher demand, support grid stability, and are becoming indispensable for a resilient and future-oriented renewable electricity market design.
