INTEC Energy Solutions, a prominent global engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, has been officially awarded a contract by European renewable energy investor AUKERA to design and build a new 50 MWp solar power plant in Lower Saxony, Germany. This significant infrastructure project is situated on a 40-hectare site in Lower Saxony. It represents a major step forward in the region’s transition to sustainable energy sources.
Under the terms of the full turnkey agreement, INTEC will manage every aspect of the project lifecycle, from initial engineering and procurement of major components like modules and inverters to the civil works and final grid integration. The partnership highlights INTEC’s growing footprint in the competitive European renewables market. Additionally, it aligns with AUKERA’s strategy to deploy high-quality assets that contribute directly to Germany’s ambitious “Energiewende” climate goals.
Comprehensive Engineering and Operational Scope
The Lachendorf project is being executed under a rigorous EPC plus Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract model, ensuring that INTEC maintains stewardship of the asset long after the construction dust settles. The scope includes the installation of fixed-mounted structures optimized for the specific terrain to maximize energy yield. Furthermore, as the integration of advanced SCADA systems for real-time monitoring and control. Beyond the construction phase, INTEC has committed to providing two years of comprehensive O&M services. A critical provision that guarantees the plant operates at peak efficiency during its initial years of service.
Mobilization is already well underway, with fencing work nearly complete and ground teams preparing for the major installation phases. This seamless transition from planning to execution underscores the technical synergy between the two companies. In addition, Klaus Friedl, Managing Director Germany at INTEC, noting that the collaboration unites “global expertise with strong local delivery” to shape the future of German energy infrastructure.

Delivering Tangible Environmental Impact
Once commissioned, the Lachendorf solar facility is projected to be a powerhouse of clean energy generation, with an estimated annual output of approximately 50.85 gigawatt-hours (GWh). This substantial volume of green electricity is sufficient to meet the consumption needs of over 15,780 households. This effectively displaces a significant portion of fossil fuel reliance in the local grid. In environmental terms, the project is expected to offset around 18,713 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year. This makes a measurable contribution to the reduction of Lower Saxony’s industrial carbon footprint.
Kemal Keskin, Country Managing Director Germany at AUKERA, described the groundbreaking as the start of a “broader cluster” of sustainable energy developments in the area. Further, by securing this project, AUKERA reinforces its commitment to impact-investing principles. Additionally, it ensures that financial returns with genuine ecological benefits that support the community’s long-term resilience against climate change.
Strategic Alignment in the European Market
This collaboration comes at a time when Germany is aggressively accelerating its renewable capacity expansion to meet both domestic and EU-wide energy security targets, a momentum underscored as the largest battery storage project in Europe at 4 GWh is set to be built in Germany by Fluence and LEAG. The deal serves as a testament to the robust demand for experienced EPC contractors capable of delivering utility-scale projects amidst a complex regulatory and supply chain landscape. For INTEC, expanding its portfolio in Germany—Europe’s largest solar market—is a strategic imperative that validates its technical capabilities and reliability as a partner for institutional investors like AUKERA.
The project not only boosts the local economy through job creation during the construction phase but also sets a benchmark for efficient project delivery. Both companies have emphasized that this venture is built on a shared vision of environmental responsibility and sustainable design. Further, this signals that further collaborative efforts could be on the horizon as the continent races to decarbonize its power sector by 2030.
