What They Do

ib vogt specializes in **Utility-Scale Solar PV** as its core technology and expands its portfolio to include battery energy storage systems (BESS), wind projects, and hybrid solutions. The company offers comprehensive turnkey services across the entire value chain, including development, design and engineering, financing, engineering-procurement-construction (EPC), operation and maintenance (O&M), as well as asset management (source: ibvogt.com). The products and services emphasize manufacturer-independent, customized solar power plants optimized for lifecycle performance, investor returns, plant size, IRR, and system economics. In-house expertise ensures high-quality delivery from inception to commercial operation and beyond, supported by an independent power producer model (IPP) and an asset rotation strategy (source: greentrade.org.tw). Target markets include global electricity sectors needing decarbonization, with a focus on OECD countries, but also a strong presence in Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.

Projects & Track Record

Notable completed projects include the largest solar project in the United Kingdom, built in just eight weeks in 2014, as well as over 500 MW of projects in the UK by 2010. Other significant projects are the first solar projects in the Philippines, Slovenia, and the Netherlands, as well as the largest project in Egypt with 230 MWp. By 2022, ib vogt had built or was constructing a total of 2.9 GWp of plants (source: ibvenergy.com). Ongoing large projects include a global development pipeline of over 40 GWp, with over 8 GWp solar + storage in the USA and nearly 1 GWp expected to be built in the next two years.

Recent Developments

In the past two years, ib vogt secured $80 million in funding for the joint development and construction of projects in the Philippines and Indonesia, unlocking approximately $300 million in projects with 260 MWp generation and 175 MWh storage (source: cbinsights.com). The company also raised $387.82 million in debt financing in the last round before 2025.
