The Germany-based 111MWp Melz solar photovoltaic (PV) project has received approval from the Melz municipal committee for its statutory plan after a comprehensive review of its environmental and planning impacts.

This milestone moves the project closer to achieving ready-to-build (RTB) status, targeted for late 2025. The plan has now entered the hearing process, a critical final stage in project development.

Being developed by a joint venture between N2OFF and Solterra Renewable Energy, the Melz solar PV project is N2OFF’s inaugural venture into the renewable energy sector.

In August 2024, N2OFF entered the European Union solar PV market with the project, under an agreement with Solterra Renewable Energy and private investors to fund up to €8m ($8.3m) in solar projects.

N2OFF announced the submission of the statutory plan draft for the project to the Melz municipality in September 2024.

The solar PV project has attracted interest from a regional energy service provider in Germany for a potential grid connection.

The facility is also a flagship project for Solterra, which aims to create a combined capacity of 300MW in Germany, Italy, and Poland.

The collaboration between N2OFF and Solterra is aimed at expediting the development of renewable energy projects with high potential.

N2OFF has continued its financial backing of Solterra, including a recent loan instalment of €470,000, as part of their total €2m commitment towards its goal of obtaining RTB status for the Melz project.

N2OFF CEO David Palach said: “We are proud to see the tangible progress being made in advancing this transformative project.

“This achievement reflects the strength of our collaboration with Solterra and our shared vision of delivering impactful solutions that promote clean energy and environmental sustainability.”
