MADRID, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LONGi Solar Technology, a global leader in solar module manufacturing has signed a Framework Agreement with BNZ, a leading independent power producer (IPP) specializing in the development, construction, and operation of renewable energy projects. This partnership solidifies a long-standing relationship and marks a significant milestone in BNZ's commitment to expanding renewable energy capacity.

BNZ, part of the Nuveen Infrastructure portfolio managed through the Europe Clean Energy Fund III - one of Europe's largest renewable energy investment funds - will achieve more than 500 MW under operation across Spain, Portugal, and Italy this year. Four of these projects, with a combined capacity of 130MW in Spain and Italy, already utilize LONGi modules.

Building on the successful collaboration to date, BNZ has now chosen to directly procure modules from LONGi for its 2025 pipeline of solar projects in Europe, totalling 336MW.

Under the agreement, BNZ will integrate LONGi's advanced Hi-MO 7 and Hi-MO 9 modules series, the latter of which features the outstanding HPBC (Hybrid Passivated Back Contact) 2.0 technology, known for their high efficiency, bi-faciality, and superior performance maximising LCOE. These cutting-edge modules will enhance energy output, reinforcing BNZ's commitment to delivering sustainable and reliable solar power.
