7C Solarparken posts H1 2026 EBITDA above plan, accelerates battery rollout
7C Solarparken AG reported H1 2026 EBITDA of EUR 28.9 million, exceeding its plan of EUR 27 million. The company also announced an acceleration of its battery rollout program, aiming for at least 30 MW of storage capacity by the end of 2027.
9 million, above the Company's own plan. The Company's full-year EBITDA guidance of EUR 50 million assumed EBITDA of EUR 27 million for the first half of 2026. 8 million, the decrease is attributable to two effects: less irradiation and a less favorable swap contract. For the first time in several years, the market environment has improved.
6%. The monthly PV price accordingly rose from EUR 36/MWh in the first half of 2025 to EUR 44/MWh in the first half of 2026. The Group's average feed-in price nevertheless declined from EUR 159/MWh to EUR 150/MWh, almost entirely due to the swap agreements on PV market price coming down from € 70/MWh on annual basis to ~€ 40/MWh for Q2 and Q3'26. 0% to 230 GWh (~465 kWh/kWp).
9 GWh relates to redispatch measures imposed by grid operators and compensated as if the plant had produced power. 4% lower average share count. 8 million in the comparable period. 87% for the annual report 2025.
The main driver for the hike in the discount rate was the 46 BP uptick in German government bond yield at the tenor relevant for a solar asset. 8 million in the first six months of 2025. 66 per share at year-end. 4 million.
4 million were repurchased in the first half, and a further program was launched in August 2026. 50 per share. The full-year PV market value is now estimated at EUR 53/MWh (previously: EUR 45/MWh), with 515 negative hours expected (previously: 665). The second and third quarters are hedged under the 100 MWp PPA at approximately EUR 40/MWh; the fourth quarter no longer carries this hedge, so the current forward curve above EUR 120/MWh offers upside.
9 million has already been achieved but is expected to rise again towards year-end as a result of the accelerated battery program with corresponding investment. The Group reports progress in the execution of its business plan, as i) the 20 MWp "Reuden Süd" installation has been on the grid since March 2026, followed in the third quarter by Bürgwindheim III (6 MWp) and a rooftop installation in Dresden, ii) capital expenditure of EUR 26 million is contractually committed for 2026 and 2027, comprising 34 MW / 78 MWh of battery storage and 18 MWp of new PV capacity including all grid connection charges, and iii) the share buy-back programme is continuing as planned.
Today, the IPP portfolio stands at 504 MWp. Roadmap 2030 The roadmap published in September 2025 remains valid, but the battery programme is being accelerated. The Management Board now expects at least 30 MW of storage capacity by the end of 2027 and 60 MW by 2030. The basis for this is the regulatory framework, which became clearer during the reporting period: from 1 October 2026, MiSpeL allows the feed-in tariff to be retained on green kilowatt hours while grey volumes are marketed through the same connection point, whereas the draft EEG 2027 applies to new installations only and leaves the existing assets untouched.
In parallel, the transmission system operators raised the 2040 target for large-scale storage in their scenario framework from 41 GW to 84 GW. The Group's economics continue to be shaped by the natural expiry of the high feed-in tariffs; the resulting cash flows fund the build-up of storage capacity, selective PV growth and the share buybacks. com Website: ISIN(s): DE000A11QW68 (Share) Stock Exchange(s): Regulated Market in Frankfurt; Free Market in Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart, Tradegate BSX Other Stock Exchanges: London [ source: ] (c) pressetext Nachrichtenagentur GmbH Ad-hoc and financial news distributed by pressetext.
