The strategic collaboration combines development, financing and technology expertise to de-risk, scale and deliver integrated solar, BESS and hydrogen energy platforms.

Smartenergy and ABB are collaborating on a strategic initiative to accelerate, de-risk and scale renewable and hydrogen projects across Southern Europe. The collaboration brings together Smartenergy’s project development, financing expertise and early-stage pipeline with ABB’s global leadership in electrification, automation and digital technologies, creating a powerful platform aimed at delivering integrated, bankable and future-ready energy infrastructure.

Southern Europe is emerging as one of Europe’s most dynamic regions for the next phase of the energy transition, driven by exceptional solar resources, rapidly growing demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS), and increasing momentum in renewables-to-hydrogen projects and renewables-to-AI applications.
