The Powerlines Group is bringing together its expertise in e-mobility, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and photovoltaics within Powerlines Energy Solutions GmbH. With André Haubrock as its new Managing Director, the company is further expanding its portfolio of integrated energy and decarbonisation solutions and continuing on its growth path. The Powerlines Group’s leading expertise in power line construction, grid connections and electrical infrastructure underpins the planning and delivery of modern battery storage, photovoltaic and charging infrastructure solutions.
“Building on our long-standing pioneering role in infrastructure electrification, the establishment of Powerlines Energy Solutions is an important step in our growth strategy. The expansion of battery energy storage systems is crucial to the success of the energy transition and the long-term stability of Europe’s energy supply. With our experience in grid infrastructure, engineering and project delivery, we are the natural partner for integrated solutions in e-mobility, battery storage and photovoltaics,” says Berthold Bartsch, CEO of the Powerlines Group, outlining the strategic direction.
Experienced BESS manager joins the management team
André Haubrock has strengthened the management team of Powerlines Energy Solutions since the beginning of November. “Our operational commitment is clear: we support businesses and public-sector clients throughout the entire life cycle of their energy infrastructure – from grid connection planning and engineering through procurement and delivery to operation and local service. Our customers have been able to count on this reliability and continuity for decades. André Haubrock is one of the pioneers in the BESS sector and will further develop our integrated delivery capabilities in this dynamically growing segment, establish our services in the market and scale the business,” says Thomas Tschachler, Authorised Signatory of Powerlines Energy Holding. André Haubrock is a Managing Director of Powerlines Energy Solutions alongside Thomas Tschachler and Ilhami Yücel.
André Haubrock brings extensive leadership experience in technology-driven industrial and energy markets to Powerlines. Most recently, he was CEO and a member of the Management Board of Intilion AG, an internationally oriented systems provider for stationary lithium-ion energy storage. With overall responsibility for strategy and organisation, sales, technology and operations, he also led the development of an EPC- and service-oriented business model. He will now draw on this experience to build and scale the integrated B2B solutions offered by Powerlines Energy Solutions.
Integrated solutions for complex energy projects
Powerlines Energy Solutions provides businesses with end-to-end support, from solution development, grid connection planning and engineering through procurement and delivery to operation and local service. The offering is aimed primarily at businesses and public-sector clients facing complex energy and infrastructure challenges, particularly logistics and fleet operators, commercial and industrial sites, property developers, municipal utilities, utility companies and EPC partners. Customers can choose turnkey solutions or individual service modules. Powerlines coordinates the relevant interfaces independently of manufacturers and with a technology-neutral approach, ensuring reliable delivery and local service. With comprehensive mobility solutions for clients including Brummer Logistik and TSK Karlsruhe, Powerlines has already delivered landmark reference projects in recent years.
Powerlines is thus consistently developing into an integrated provider of energy and decarbonisation projects. “Our task is to turn technology into an energy solution that delivers lasting availability. To achieve this, grid connection, engineering, permitting, implementation and service must be considered together from the outset and delivered in an integrated way. I look forward to working with the Powerlines teams to raise the profile of this expertise in the market and systematically expand our business in e-mobility, battery storage and photovoltaics,” says André Haubrock.
