A Message from our CEO
We, as a global society, are facing a pivotal moment. The stakes are high. Climate change poses a serious and growing threat, and while the solutions to reduce our carbon footprint already exist, what we need now is the will – and the action – to implement them at scale.
The challenge ahead is immense: decarbonising our electricity systems, moving away from fossil fuels, and accelerating the shift to renewable energy – all while ensuring energy remains affordable, secure, and resilient. Rising demand, volatile prices, and geopolitical instability only add complexity to an already urgent mission.
At ib vogt, we believe in aligning sustainability with real-world impact. Every project we develop, build, and deliver is a step toward making clean energy more accessible and more affordable. That’s how we win support for the energy transition – not just through ambition, but through action and results.
Our focus on utility-scale solar PV and energy storage enables us to drive change where it matters most. With deep experience and a global perspective, we are committed to building sustainable energy systems that deliver long-term value for people and the planet.
That’s why our mission remains clear: to power the energy transition – with purpose, with impact, and with others.
Sincerely,
Andreas Schell
Powering the
energy transition
ib vogt is a leading utility-scale renewable energy development platform with a global footprint, a 20-year history, and a 15-year track record in utility-scale PV plants, plus a growing portfolio of wind and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) projects. Our development strategy, which focuses primarily on OECD markets, world-scale development pipeline, and IPP business model strongly position ib vogt for delivering long-term value.
ib vogt’s comprehensive business model captures value added throughout all stages of the project up until commercial operation – and beyond. Our IPP model and its corresponding asset rotation strategy make this possible. We are therefore able to create an additional repeating source of future revenues and can offer attractive opportunities for capital deployment.
With a proven track record of project development success and a long history of profitable growth, ib vogt benefits from its strong local presence, which is augmented by a robust network of joint venture and local development partners, and profits from key relationships with customers, investors, lenders, and suppliers.
Our first-class competencies, developed in-house, strengthen our daily business of producing high-quality turnkey solar PV power plants for end investors throughout the world.
