• BELECTRIC secures another major contract in northern Germany
• Construction of a solar farm with an output of 114 megawatts peak (MWp) for customer Encavis AG

Kolitzheim (Germany) – BELECTRIC, Member of Elevion Group, has secured another major contract in northern Germany. With the construction of a 114-megawatt solar farm in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the solar energy company is further expanding its presence in its German home market.

Less than two years after the commissioning of Tramm-Göthen, one of the largest independent solar power plants in Germany, BELECTRIC has now begun construction on another major project. The company is constructing a solar farm with an installed capacity of 114 MWp near Borrentin, in the region of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, for its customer Encavis AG, a leading independent producer of electricity from renewable energies. On an area equivalent to 135 football fields, BELECTRIC is installing almost 200,000 modules which are expected to cover the annual electricity needs of approximately 35,000 housholds with solar power from September 2024. BELECTRIC is also responsible for the large-scale project’s operation and maintenance (O&M). To mark the start of construction, the solar company held a ground-breaking ceremony on March 19^th with its customer Encavis, project partners, Peter Rabe, the mayor of Borrentin, and representatives of the municipality and the press.

Mario Schirru, CIO/COO at Encavis, comments: “Together with BELECTRIC, we are realising our largest solar farm in Germany to date in Borrentin. Following the expected completion in the near future, our connected generating capacity in Germany will increase to a total of 677 MW (265 MW wind and 412 MW solar). We appreciate the excellent cooperation with BELECTRIC, which will bring us a significant step closer to our target of 7 GW of generating capacity in Europe by 2027.”

Borrentin solar farm does not compete with agriculture, as it is being built on an area with an average agricultural land grade of 27.26 and thus on an area that would not have a good agricultural yield anyway. Only values above 40 are considered good agricultural land, and values above 60 are considered very good quality.

“We are proud that Encavis AG has chosen us as a partner for the construction of this exciting large-scale project after several years of good cooperation. This once again emphasises our strong presence in our German home market”, explains Dr Thorsten Blanke, Managing Director of BELECTRIC.

• Commissioning of four solar farms in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and Hesse
• BELECTRIC was responsible for both project development and construction
• BELECTRIC takes over two of the solar power plants into its own asset company BELECTRIC Greenvest

Kolitzheim (Germany) – BELECTRIC, member of Elevion Group, is commissioning four solar power plants in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and Hesse in Germany. The photovoltaic plants with a total installed capacity of more than 76 megawatts were not only constructed by BELECTRIC, but also developed in-house.

The solar energy company BELECTRIC is commissioning four more solar farms in Germany. The plants were constructed near Deubach (48 MWp) in the district of Lauda-Königshofen, Oberrammersdorf (10.7 MWp) in the district of Ansbach, Reddehausen (7.6 MWp) in the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf, and Rieden (10 MWp) in the district of Nürnberger Land. More than 140,000 modules were installed on the four sites. They will generate around 80 gigawatt hours of electricity and can therefore cover the annual requirements of a town like Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The solar farms were not only built by BELECTRIC, but also developed in-house. A particular focus was placed on the ecological and natural realisation of the plants. This includes, for example, flower strips, generous sowing of the areas with grass seed, and the creation of deadwood piles to provide shelter for sand lizards and slow worms. In Deubach and Rieden, a special seed is also used to protect the skylark.

The commissioning of the Deubach and Reddehausen plants also marks a milestone in BELECTRIC’s history. “We are adding the two solar farms to the portfolio of our asset company BELECTRIC Greenvest and thus are entering the IPP (Independent Power Producer) business segment. This means that we are selectively adding plants to our own portfolio and, as the owner, are also producing and marketing solar electricity”, explains Dr Thorsten Blanke, Managing Director of BELECTRIC. “In this way, we are expanding our value chain and complementing our expertise by looking through the glasses of our customers.”

BELECTRIC has sold the Rieden solar farm to its long-standing customer N-ERGIE Regenerativ GmbH. The Oberrammersdorf PV plant was transferred to Bürger-Energie Lichtenau eG, PV Wiedersbach GmbH & Co. KG, and Solarpark Osterburg GmbH & Co. KG and offers participation opportunities for citizens. BELECTRIC is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all projects.

On October 9^th, 2023, the Franconian solar company BELECTRIC met with representatives of the handball club Wölfe Würzburg and the club’s partners at its headquarters in Kolitzheim near Schweinfurt to discuss the regional energy transition. After a joint tour of a solar farm constructed by BELECTRIC, the attendees discussed how they could cooperate to make the Main-Franconia region a little more sustainable. One of the topics was the leasing of areas for solar power plants and its positive influence on local biodiversity.

Roland Sauer, Managing Director of Wölfe Würzburg, comments: “From the point of view of all participants, it was a successful event. The management of BELECTRIC impressively presented their concept for climate and environmentally friendly energy projects. In many individual discussions, the topic of sustainability as well as BELECTRIC’s vision were discussed in greater depth. Wölfe Würzburg are proud to carry this vision to the outside world and to support it through their network!”

In addition to BELECTRIC employees from various departments and the Wölfe Würzburg, representatives from seven regional companies were present. Towards the end of the event, the attendees were happy about a celebrity visit: the players from the third-division handball team stopped by for a Meet & Greet, took photos with the participants and signed autographs.

Thorsten Blanke, Managing Director of BELECTRIC, was pleased about the visit: “We support the Wölfe Würzburg because we are rooted in this region. It is important to us. Together, we discuss the energy transition and evaluate whether there can be specific projects to advance our home region.”
