BELECTRIC nimmt 114-Megawatt-Solarpark in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Betrieb

  • Commissioning of 114-megawatt solar farm near Borrentin in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany
  • Total capacity installed by BELECTRIC in Germany surpasses 1.2 GWp

Kolitzheim (Germany) – BELECTRIC, member of Elevion Group, has commissioned a 114-megawatt peak (MWp) solar farm for its customer, ENCAVIS, a leading independent producer of electricity from renewable energies. The completion of this large-scale plant in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, increases BELECTRIC’s total installed capacity in Germany to over 1.2 gigawatts peak (GWp).

BELECTRIC has successfully commissioned the Borrentin solar farm located in the German Mecklenburgische Seenplatte region. The photovoltaic system built for ENCAVIS will generate approximately 121 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of solar power annually, which will be used to supply energy to a network of electric vehicle charging stations. The rapid construction of this project demonstrates the exceptional collaboration between BELECTRIC employees on and off the construction site, the municipality of Borrentin, the landowner, and BELECTRIC’s customer ENCAVIS.

Thorsten Blanke, Managing Director of BELECTRIC, adds: “We are proud to have successfully commissioned this major project in Borrentin within such a short timeframe, thanks to the joint effort of our teams, our partner ENCAVIS, and all stakeholders. To date, we have installed over 1.2 GW of solar power in Germany. This means solar plants built by BELECTRIC across the country now provide a nominal capacity equivalent to that of a nuclear power station.”

Mario Schirru, CIO/COO at ENCAVIS, comments: “Together with BELECTRIC, the municipality of Borrentin, and the landowner we have delivered this project, installing 200,000 solar modules across an area the size of 135 football fields. By overcoming challenges collaboratively, we have increased our wind and solar generation capacity in Germany to 700 MW, which brings us a significant step closer to our goal of achieving 7 GW of capacity connected to the grid across Europe by 2027.”
