N2OFF, Inc: Solterra Advances JV Solar PV Project Following Key Zoning Submission in Melz, Germany

A statutory plan draft (B-PLAN) was recently submitted to the Melz municipality

Neve Yarak, Israel, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- N2OFF, Inc.\ (NASDAQ: NITO) (FSE:80W) (“N2OFF” and the “Company”), a clean tech company engaged in sustainable solutions for energy and innovation for the agri- tech, and Solterra Renewable Energy Ltd. (“Solterra”) today announced additional progress in connection with the integration of Solterra’s Solar PV joint venture project in Melz, Germany.

The municipal approval process for integrating the solar facility within Melz’s zoning plan requires district approval before the municipality can proceed with presenting the statutory plan draft for public hearing. The JV took an important step forward by submitting the statutory plan (B-PLAN) draft to the city.

N2OFF previously announced that Solterra obtained approval to connect the PV solar project to the power grid of a regional energy provider. Furthermore, the current project design requires a grid connection of 97 MW to deliver an aggregate capacity of 111 MWp. The approved grid connection capacity exceeds such requirement by approximately 10%, providing two potential pathways to maximize the value: (i) increasing the project’s capacity by up to 10%; or (ii) incorporating battery storage solutions.

David Palach, N2OFF’s CEO, added "We are pleased with Solterra's steady progress on our joint project. The expertise of the Solterra team is evident across various aspects of the project, including regulatory and statutory matters, infrastructure development, and establishing partnerships.”
