The order is part of an Enablement Initiative from the German Federal Government and includes off-grid, combat-proven energy supply systems for military and civilian applications. The highly mobile and rapidly deployable hybrid energy solutions ensure a resilient and decentralized energy supply for operational forces as well as critical electronic systems, including communications, navigation, and reconnaissance technology. Depending on the mission profile, they also serve to charge the batteries of unmanned systems, such as drones.

Due to their very low thermal and acoustic signatures, they significantly enhance stealth capabilities and thus safety in the operational environment. The systems enable a continuous, low-maintenance, and low-emission energy supply. In addition, the fuel cell systems significantly reduce logistical requirements. The low demand for consumables significantly reduces weight and volume compared to purely battery-powered solutions and creates additional space for missioncritical equipment such as food supplies, water, and ammunition, while simultaneously extending mission duration.

In parallel with the delivery and commissioning of the systems, local structures for training, service, and support, as well as for regional value, are being established in coordination with the Ukraine Task Force of the Federal Ministry of Defence (BMVg). The aim is to ensure the sustainable use of the systems, support existing and additional branches of the armed forces, contribute to civilian reconstruction, and meet the demand for a reliable, decentralized energy supply beyond 2026.

Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG: “We thank Ukraine for its trust and are proud to be able to make a meaningful and important contribution as part of the German Federal Government’s Enablement Initiative. Following the successful deployment of our solutions under real-world conditions, we are supporting the forces with combat-proven, highly mobile systems. These combine a high degree of self-sufficiency, long runtime, and an extremely low signature. This provides clear tactical advantages while simultaneously increasing the safety of the forces.

At the same time, particularly in light of the recent visit by German Federal Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius to Ukraine, we are laying the foundation for the sustainable deployment of our technologies by establishing local support and value chain structures for both military settings and civilian applications as well as reconstruction efforts beyond 2026.

Our solutions enable a reliable energy supply for a broad range of applications – from portable and mobile systems to critical infrastructure. The record order strengthens our leading position in the defense and security market and highlights the potential of our technology in protecting critical infrastructure as well. Against this backdrop, we are raising our forecast for the 2026 financial year.”

Due to the large-scale order, the Management Board is adjusting its forecast for the 2026 financial year. The Management Board now expects Group sales of EUR 163 million to EUR 175 million (previously: EUR 150 million to EUR 160 million), adjusted EBITDA of EUR 29 million to EUR 34 million (previously: EUR 20 million to EUR 24 million), and adjusted EBIT of EUR 20.5 million to EUR 25.5 million (previously: EUR 11 million to EUR 15 million).
