Company profile

Solar by day, stored power after sunset

Grenergy develops, builds and operates solar and battery projects, but its storage business has two distinct formats. Oasis co-locates photovoltaic generation with batteries to shift solar output into non-solar hours; Greenbox connects stand-alone batteries directly to the grid. The group links project origination and construction with plant operations and large-scale power contracts across Europe, Latin America and the United States.

Integrated operating model

From site selection to the control room

Teams assess sites, test feasibility, obtain permits and plan projects before in-house design and integrated construction management. Once a plant is live, remote and field specialists plan maintenance, monitor it in real time and manage risk; the power team works with offtakers under large-scale contracts. These pages describe group capabilities across the life cycle, not a claim that every project remains owned by Grenergy.

Hybrid power in Chile

When the Atacama sun sets, the batteries keep supplying

Oasis de Atacama combines solar and storage so electricity can be delivered beyond daylight hours. Its project page dates operations from 2024; Grenergy's current full-platform plan is 2.5 GW of PV and 14.1 GWh of batteries. Central Oasis is a separate five-phase replication in central Chile, planned at 1.4 GW and 5.1 GWh for 2027. Codelco is an offtaker under a 24/7 PPA, while BYD supplies 2.6 GWh of batteries for four named phases.

Two Spanish storage formats

Escuderos couples solar and batteries; Oviedo stands alone

Iberian Oasis is under development at 1 GW of solar and 3.2 GWh of storage. Its Escuderos phase includes 200 MW of solar already operating, 680 MWh of planned storage and a signed PPA; Índalo adds a planned 100 MW and 320 MWh. Oviedo instead is a stand-alone four-hour battery: 154 MW and 618 MWh on a former industrial site, expected to enter operation in the first half of 2027.

Strategy and geography

Two platforms anchor a €3.7bn plan

Grenergy's May 2026 plan allocates €3.7 billion through 2028, with roughly 45% intended for Europe, 45% for Chile and about 5% for the United States. It targets 8 GWh of Greenbox capacity in operation or construction by 2028 across six European markets, while all Oasis platforms are planned at 5 GW of solar and 22 GWh of storage. These are company targets and pipeline figures, not delivered capacity.

Current 2026 update

What is changing at Grenergy Renovables in 2026?

Grenergy is moving beyond a single solar-plus-storage format. Greenbox puts stand-alone batteries on European grids, Oasis combines batteries with solar, long-term contracts are giving reference projects different revenue structures, and GR Data is building a team around a still-uncontracted digital-infrastructure option.

Latest official evidence Oviedo stand-alone battery financing Published 22 July 2026

The change in one sentence

The next cycle combines two battery formats, two contract models and one pre-customer digital option.

Greenbox and Oasis are different physical formats; Elena and Oviedo illustrate different commercial structures; GR Data tries to reuse clean power, sites and grid connections for data centres. Targets, scalable capacities and pipelines remain plans unless a source states that they are operating or contracted.

Four lenses on 2026

The same four-quadrant format used in the Company profile.

01 · Two storage formats

Greenbox stands alone; Oasis shifts co-located solar beyond daylight

Grenergy's May roadmap targets 8 GWh of Greenbox capacity operating or under construction by 2028 across six European markets. Greenbox batteries connect to the grid without a co-located solar plant. Oasis instead combines solar generation and storage; Iberian Oasis is under development at 1 GW of solar and 3.2 GWh of batteries, while all Oasis platforms are planned at 5 GW of solar and 22 GWh of storage. These are roadmap and pipeline figures, not delivered capacity.

  • Current signalGreenbox target: 8 GWh · Oasis roadmap: 5 GW solar + 22 GWh storage
  • Why it mattersThe two formats address different project configurations and should not be treated as one operating fleet or one commercial model.

  • Plan and project detail Grenergy Renovables · 2026-05-27

02 · How the battery is contracted

Elena sells night-time energy; Oviedo pairs tolling with project finance

Elena in Chile has 3.5 GWh of gross storage already operating and a planned expansion to 7 GWh. Its night-time PPA supplies 1 TWh a year for 15 years and is scheduled to take effect between July and October 2026. Oviedo in Spain is a 618 MWh stand-alone battery under construction; a EUR 100 million senior non-recourse financing package includes credit lines from Santander and SMBC. Operation is expected in H1 2027, while its ten-year financial tolling agreement starts in 2028.

  • Current signalElena: 1 TWh/year for 15 years · Oviedo: 618 MWh and EUR 100m financing
  • Why it mattersA physical energy-supply PPA and a financial tolling agreement allocate revenue and market risk differently; financing does not itself prove operation.

  • Oviedo financing Grenergy Renovables · 2026-07-22

03 · The digital option

GR Data now has a Chile lead, but no announced customer or strategic partner

Grenergy appointed Gonzalo Atán as Managing Director of Data Centers in Chile in July. Atacama Data is planned to start at 400 MW IT and scale to 1 GW IT near the Elena hybrid plant, with a secured Kimal grid connection; two Santiago cloud campuses are planned at 600 MW IT combined. The company says it aims to attract strategic partners, but the release names no customer, hyperscaler, partner, construction start or contracted IT capacity.

  • Current signalManaging Director appointed · project capacities remain planned
  • Why it mattersThe appointment adds organisation to the concept, but the investment case remains pre-customer and pre-construction on the disclosed evidence.

04 · What to watch

Three questions for the next disclosures

Three questions separate roadmap ambition from operating and contracted assets.

  • Greenbox build-outWhich stand-alone projects beyond Oviedo reach construction toward the 8 GWh operating-or-under-construction target?
  • Contract milestonesDoes Elena's PPA take effect in the stated window, and how is Oviedo bridged from H1 2027 operation to the 2028 tolling start?
  • GR Data customersDoes GR Data announce a customer or strategic partner, contracted IT capacity and a construction timetable?
