Energiekontor has received a positive notice via a so-called Planning Deviation Procedure for a fourth solar project in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.
The 45MW solar project will be located in the city of Marlow.
Energiekontor has already received a positive notice for three solar park projects in the region with a generation capacity of around 130MW in mid-October 2022.
This brings the total generation capacity of all four projects to around 175MW.
Construction of the projects is scheduled to begin in 2023 and commissioning is planned for the end of 2024.
“We are pleased that, as pioneers of the energy transition, we are now also one of the first companies in Germany to realise four large-scale solar park projects via the so-called planning deviation procedure,” said Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor.
“The start has been made, now we hope to save time and effort from positive learning effects on both sides in future planning deviation procedures to be able to realize future projects even more quickly.
“We have already started with the further realisation of the four existing solar park projects.
“We want them to be fully operational as soon as possible so that they can then actively contribute to the energy transition,” Szabo added.
The solar parks will provide the municipality of Dettmannsdorf and the town of Marlow with a total annual six-figure share of the yield through the municipal participation regulated in the EEG.
These funds are directly available to the municipalities’ budgets.
