February 2025 – LONGi Solar Technology, a global leader in solar module manufacturing, has signed a Strategic Framework Agreement with BNZ, a premier independent power producer (IPP), to supply 336MW of advanced solar modules for BNZ’s 2025 pipeline in Europe. This agreement reinforces their long-standing partnership and underscores a shared commitment to expanding renewable energy capacity.
BNZ, part of Nuveen Infrastructure’s Europe Clean Energy Fund III, is on track to surpass 500MW of operational solar projects across Spain, Portugal, and Italy this year. With 130MW of BNZ’s existing capacity in Spain and Italy already utilizing LONGi modules, this new agreement further cements LONGi as a key technology partner in BNZ’s clean energy growth strategy.
Under the partnership, BNZ will integrate LONGi’s cutting-edge Hi-MO 7 and Hi-MO 9 module series, featuring HBPC (Hybrid Passivated Back Contact) 2.0 technology for superior efficiency and performance. These high-efficiency, bifacial modules will enhance energy yield, optimizing Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) across BNZ’s solar assets.
Leadership Perspectives:
Daniel Sánchez, Director at BNZ: “Collaborating with strategic partners like LONGi strengthens our mission to deliver high-quality renewable energy solutions and drive the energy transition.”
Luis Selva, Managing Director of BNZ: “This agreement reflects our vision for innovation and growth in the renewable energy sector, reinforcing our commitment to clean energy adoption.”
Francois CUI, President of LONGi Europe: “Our partnership with BNZ marks a significant milestone, setting new industry benchmarks and reinforcing our competitive edge in Europe’s solar market.”
David Sanchez, General Manager Spain & Portugal, LONGi Europe: “BNZ values LONGi’s innovation leadership, and we are confident our Hi-MO 7 and Hi-MO 9 modules will deliver outstanding performance for their PV assets.”
This strategic collaboration highlights BNZ’s dedication to advancing solar energy development while fostering strong industry alliances. As demand for clean energy surges, the partnership between LONGi and BNZ sets a new standard for sustainable energy expansion in Europe and beyond.
