Direct delivery, directly convincing: Our blueplanet 360 NX3 at the Regensburg Ost energy site

KACO new energy is supporting the implementation of a pioneering energy project in Regensburg: The Regensburg Ost Energy Area (ERO) will be powered by our blueplanet 360 NX3 utility platform. The 11 MWp groundmounted solar installation will supply electricity directly via dedicated lines to the companies AUMOVIO, Schaeffler, and our parent company Siemens—each receiving power from the section of the plant allocated to them. The project is operated by the Bürger Energie Region Regensburg eG (BERR) cooperative, which also enabled citizens and company employees to participate as members. 

Our contribution: Efficiency, safety, and grid capability at utility scale 

As inverter partner, we deliver the blueplanet 360 NX3 to ensure gridsupportive, efficient, and reliable power conversion. The platform is designed for high availability, strong efficiency values, and robust gridsupport functions—all essential when supplying solar power directly and without interruption to industrial consumers. 
Our parent company Siemens provides the transformers, enabling seamless integration into industrial infrastructure. 

Why the blueplanet 360 NX3 is ideal for directdelivery concepts: 

- High conversion efficiency for low Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) under industrial load profiles 

- Gridsupportive features (e.g., reactive power management) for stable operation in demanding industrial environments 

- Scalable architecture for clear allocation per offtaker and easy future expansion 

- Hardenedbydesign for longlasting performance in outdoor utilityscale settings 


Direct delivery as a blueprint for regional energy supply 

The ERO uses a distinctive yet effective concept: solar power generated on a groundmounted site, delivered directly to the factories via dedicated lines, without detours. 
For the companies, this means predictable, regional, and pricestable energy supply. 
For the region, it brings greater value creation and acceptance. 
For the energy transition, it provides a scalable model that can be replicated across other industrial sites. 


Project status and partners 

Despite isolated challenges during preparation—from coordination requirements to unexpected delays—the project remains on its ambitious timeline. 
Max Solar serves as general contractor, and BERR eG significantly expands its portfolio through the ERO. 
Our role as technology partner: delivering inverter technology for accurate, efficient, and secure power delivery to industrial offtakers.
