Three years ProjectForum: Established online marketplace accelerates internationalization

Hamburg, May 12, 2014

ProjectForum celebrates the third anniversary of its online marketplace for solar projects and power plants and expands the activities in new regional markets. After the integration of Spanish and French, the platform now is available in five languages. The online marketplace thereby enables further growth in future solar markets of Latin America and in the French speaking countries of the African Sub-Sahara region.

Intensive support for solar project marketing
In addition to linguistic competencies, ProjectForum offers qualified know-how of all legal aspects and local conditions in the covered regional markets. The competitive advantage of the online marketplace lies in the qualified and free of charge support of project developers in project presentation. This preparatory work provided by the ProjectForum team as well as the structured data rooms enable a fast and efficient project offer evaluation by potential investors.

Focus on solar secondary market in Germany and Italy

In mature solar markets, the activities of ProjectForum focus on the resale of existing solar assets.
„Over 50,000 MWp of solar power plants are installed in Germany and Italy alone, representing more than one third of the total global solar PV capacity“, said Karsten Kreissler, General Manager of Project Forum 4t2 GmbH. „While the original sale of solar power plants was organized in the classic sales channels of the general contractors, ProjectForum is increasingly engaged in secondary market transactions of existing assets from one investor to another investor“. The detailed pre-qualification of project offers and potential buyers enables a continuous deal flow of fully documented solar assets with a total installed capacity in the two-digit megawatts range being offered.
