Conergy constructs 3.4MW solar project in Germany

Conergy has constructed a 3.4MW solar power plant in the village of Worpswede in Lower Saxony, Germany for Johannsen.

The 3.4MW solar park is located on a eight hectare site using about 14,000 Conergy PowerPlus solar modules to generate clean energy for the region.

The electricity produced is sufficient to provide power to over one third of the community’s inhabitants with clean energy.

The solar park will displace about 1,800 tonnes of greenhouse gas annually which is equivalent to removing almost 900 cars from the road.

Conergy Germany managing director Stefan Balbierz said local authorities are taking charge of the energy transition in the region.

"And the local authority of Osterholz has done so as well," Balbierz added.

"It is combining sustainable energy generation with environmental protection on the doorstep, making itself independent of increasing energy prices at the same time.

"Thanks to its decentralised nature, photovoltaics is ideally suited to this purpose."

Under the contract, the company was also responsible for designing and engineering the solar park and also for the construction and supply of all the components.

The power generated from the modules is transported through 35km long solar cables to the ten Conergy IPG 300C central inverters and feed the 3.1m kilowatt hours of electricity in the grid every year.

The solar park was developed as a part of the local project "Energiewende Osterholz 2030" (Osterholz Energy Transition 2030).

REON involved in Osterholz Energy Transition 2030 has contributed in the development of the solar park.
