Ampyr Solar Europe has opened its 45MWp Gorgast solar park cluster in Brandenburg, Germany, marking another milestone in the company’s European energy transition strategy.
The cluster combines three photovoltaic sites – Gorgast Bahn, Gorgast Gewächshaus and Manschnow – operating together as a single plant.
Spanning 40.6 hectares and comprising almost 75,000 solar panels, the project generates enough clean electricity to power around 13,000 households while avoiding about 22,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
A key feature of the development is the transformation of a previously unused brownfield site at Gorgast Gewächshaus into a productive solar facility.
Ampyr Solar Europe said the project exemplifies its approach to responsible land use and ecological renewal, with major investments in demolition work, removal of unexploded ordnance, and extensive environmental and conservation measures.
The company added that the project was delivered in close cooperation with the local municipality, engaging local businesses and promoting sustainable regional development.
Ampyr Solar Europe chief executive Tarun Agrawal said: “We are proud to contribute to Europe’s continuing energy transition with the opening of the Gorgast PV cluster. The collaboration with our partners has been outstanding and serves as a model for future projects. The Gorgast project underscores our continuing commitment to developing renewable assets in Germany, where ASE now has a PV and BESS pipeline of over 3GW, part of an aggregate European pipeline of over 7GW across Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.”
