With approximately 119,000 modules, the solar park in Büttel has an installed capacity of around 39 MWp and will generate power for about 7,500 households. Under the PPA, Axpo will market production from the already completed PV plant together with the project developer Enerparc and its trading subsidiary Sunnic Lighthouse GmbH for a period of ten years. Axpo will purchase approximately 35 GWh of solar power a year, of which 4 GWh will be marketed under the market premium model.
Base load electricty from a German solar park
For the first time in Germany, the solar park will supply base load energy to the buyer. Sunnic Lighthouse GmbH will manage the volatile supply with the help of an 8 MWh battery which will be installed at the site. Financing for this innovative model took place through Deutsche Anlagen Leasing GmbH & Co. KG (DAL). (mfo)
