Project developer from Bremen successfully completes solar project
Energiekontor AG: Sale and commissioning of Nadrensee solar park
Bremen, 1 September 2016. Energiekontor AG has sold the Nadrensee solar
park to the public utilities company Stadtwerke Tübingen. The solar park
went into operations and was connected to the grid only a few days after
the agreements were signed. The project was bought in the first auction
round for solar plants in Germany in April 2015.
The Nadrensee solar park is a greenfield PV plant with a string inverter
concept and rated power of just under 9 MWp. The plant is located in the
Vorpommern-Greifswald district at the south-eastern end of Mecklenburg-
Western Pomerania. A total of 57,600 CIS thin-film solar modules have been
installed in this solar park on both sides along the A 11 motorway.
Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG, is satisfied: "With the Nadrensee
project, we have successfully implemented our first tender project in the
solar sector. In line with our growth strategy, we intend to expand the
solar business further in the future. For this purpose, we not only focus
on the German market but equally look for opportunities abroad such as in
the south of France and in the US." With regard to the full year 2016, he
adds: "In addition to the already signed purchase agreements for five wind
farms, the sale of Nadrensee is an important milestone for our earnings
target this year. However, completing these wind farms that are still under
construction before the end of the year as planned and the successful and
complete sale of another large wind farm, which is still in process, in the
course of 2016, are key prerequisites for reaching this target."
