For sale: Full-service contractor in floating solar and large-scale battery storage (Project Horizon)

Project Horizon is a full-service contractor in floating solar and large-scale battery storage, with a leading position in horticulture

Company profile

  • The company is a Dutch specialist in floating solar on greenhouse water basins and in large-scale battery storage.
  • It delivers an integrated proposition combining generation, storage and on-site energy control at the customer’s site as an EPC-plus contractor that owns feasibility, engineering, procurement and development as well as contracting physical installation per project.
  • A proven track record across floating solar and battery storage projects, with a growing recurring inspection and monitoring layer.
  • Core market is Dutch greenhouse growers, with international expansion underway in Europe and North America.

 

Geography: Europe and North America

Industry: Integrated Solar Energy & Storage (EPC)

Team: 5-10 employees

Project Pipeline: ~€250m total, over €100m on a probability-weighted basis

 

Financial development

  • The group has delivered close to €10m of revenue in a single year, demonstrating the scalability of the business model.
  • Revenue is forecasted at €6m in 2026, €29m in 2027 and €38m in 2028, built bottom-up from the current pipeline rather than extrapolated from prior years.
  • 2026 is largely covered by a secured order book. With the majority of 2027 covered by advanced opportunities, as part of a combined probability-weighted pipeline of over €100m.
  • EBITDA margin 10-15%, with growth largely self funded through customer prepayments.

 

Investment highlights

  • Leading niche-position: no direct competitor of comparable depth in floating solar for water basins. High barriers to entry through references, design capability and bankability.
  • Structural sourcing advantage: direct factory access with exclusive and fully transferable supplier relationships, giving a material advantage on procurement.
  • Dual use of space: installations sit on existing water basins and require no agricultural land,  assets that are gaining value as seasonal water storage.
  • Structural demand growth: grid congestion and the energy transition in horticulture make on-site generation and storage a necessity rather than a choice for growers.
  • Asset light and cash generative: customers fund the working capital through staged prepayments, so growth requires little additional capital.

 

Transaction

  • The current shareholders intend to transfer 100% of the shares.
  • A new managing director recently took office, reducing founder dependency.
  • Founders are willing to remain involved for an agreed period to ensure a careful handover.
  • Suitable for a strategic buyer.
