Pure Energy signs first-of-its-kind Flexibility PPA in the Baltics with Mirova & Evecon's BREP
Mirova, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers dedicated to sustainable investing, and Evecon announce a series of major milestones supporting the acceleration of Estonia’s energy transition, through their jointly owned Baltic Renewable Energy Platform OÜ (“BREP”):
- Hybridization of the 77.5 MWp Kirikmäe Solar Photovoltaic (PV) plant with a 55 MW / 250 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS),
- Execution of the first Flexibility & Power Purchase Agreement (FPPA) ever signed in the Baltics, with Pure Energy GmbH, and
- Completion of a new c.€85 million long‑term financing package from Swedbank.
Together, these developments demonstrate how combining renewable generation with energy storage and long-term optimization tools can unlock new value for the Baltic energy market and support Estonia's long-term energy independence.
Hybridization of the Kirikmäe Solar Plant with a Utility Scale Battery SystemScale
Commissioned in October 2024, the Kirikmäe solar PV plant will be enhanced through the addition of a 55 MW / 250 MWh BESS, currently under construction since January 2026. WiSo Engineering is the EPC contractor responsible for the entire infrastructure and system integration. Batteries, power conversion equipment, and medium voltage components are supplied by Huawei.
Once operational (expected Q3–Q4 2026), the hybrid system will enable BREP to store solar production and deliver key grid‑stability services, including Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR), automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR), and manual Frequency Restoration Reserve (mFRR).
Such services are crucial as the Baltic countries transition to a more autonomous and more renewables-based electricity system following their disconnection from the BRELL (Belarus-Russia-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania) grid.
BREP and Pure Energy sign the first Flexibility & Power Purchase Agreement (FPPA) in the Baltics with Pure Energy
BREP has entered into a 10-year FPPA integrating both renewable electricity sales and flexibility optimization – with Pure Energy, effective January 2026. The agreement covers the full output of BREP's portfolio including:year
- Kirikmäe Hybrid: 5 MWp solar PV + 55 MW / 250 MWh BESS
- Imavere: 5 MWp solar PV
- LohuMets: 8 MWp solar PV
This structure, backed by investment‑grade guarantees, introduces a new commercial model for hybrid renewable‑plusstorage assets in the Baltics and Nordics and supports the long-term development of renewable energy in the storage assets in the Baltics and Nordics and supports the long‑integration of variable renewable energy into the grid.
Swedbank supports BREP’s growth with a new long-term financing facility
Swedbank, which has supported BREP since 2023, has committed to a new c.€85 million long-term facility. The package covers:
- the refinancing of the existing solar PV portfolio,
- the construction of the KirikmäeBESS, and
- several ancillary credit lines, including a VAT facility, a Letter of Credit, and a Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA).
Raphaël Lance, Global Head of Private Assets at Mirova: “Theconstruction of 55MW BESS capacity to build the largest Baltic hybrid plant, combined with the signing of this first long-term FPPA, illustrates how innovation can accelerate the integration of renewables and storage into Europe’s power systems. By backing pioneering hybrid infrastructures, Mirova is helping reshape the way clean energy is produced, stored, and valued. At a time when Europe’s energy sovereignty has become a strategic priority, investing in assets that strengthen local resilience is both an environmental imperative and an economic necessity. We are proud to advance this vision alongside Evecon and our partners in the Baltics.”
Karl-Joonatan Kvell, CEO of Evecon: “Thehybridization of Kirikmäe Solar PV and the implementation of the FPPA demonstrate how innovative structures, strong partnerships, and high technical standards can shape the future of the Estonian electricity system. Evecon is thrilled that the partnership initiated with MET5 through BREP is fruitful and strengthening the Estonian electricity market with both solar energy generation and flexibility.”
Servet Akgün, Founder of Pure Energy GmbH: “Signing the first FPPA of this nature in the Baltics marks the start of a long-term partnership with BREP, MET5, and Evecon. It reflects Pure Energy’s operational depth and governance capabilities that are required for such long-term structures. We’re proud to contribute to the energy transition that strengthens both renewable generation and flexibility in the Baltics.”
Mihkel Utt, Head of Large Corporates, Swedbank Estonia: “Swedbank is pleased to continue its partnership with MET5 and Evecon by supporting this next phase of BREP’s development. The sophisticated nature of the FPPA, coupled with the high quality of BREP’s stakeholders, is warmly welcomed by Swedbank, which is also proud to contribute to the construction of high-quality renewable energy and flexibility assets in the Baltics.”
Pure Energy signs first-of-its-kind Flexibility PPA in the Baltics with Mirova & Evecon's BREP
Pure Energy has signed a first-of-its-kind Flexibility & Power Purchase Agreement (FPPA) with Mirova and Evecon’sBaltic Renewable Energy Platform (BREP) in connection with the hybridization of the 77.5 MWp Kirikmäe solar PV plant with a 55 MW / 250 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), currently under construction.
The transaction integrates renewable electricity offtake with long-term flexibility optimization under a structured commercial framework, alongside approximately €85 million in long-term financing provided by Swedbank.
By combining solar generation, storage capacity, and structured market optimization, this transaction strengthens the bankability of hybrid assets and represents a milestone in the evolution of flexibility-based PPAs in the region.
