The Swiss energy provider is building a huge solar park near Madrid to cover the immense energy consumption of artificial intelligence. This will be specially adapted to supply data centres.
Nomad Electric has successfully commissioned its first photovoltaic power plant in Portugal with a capacity of 8.4 megawatts, part of a larger 45-megawatt contract. Additionally, the company has secured a new EPC contract for a 24-megawatt solar farm, expanding its footprint in the Portuguese renewable energy market.
Solitek has joined forces with Reech AG, a Swiss engineering and planning company, for the two projects in the Alps of Switzerland. One on the wall above a road and the other in St. Moritz.
Following the commissioning of Switzerland's largest alpine solar plant to date in the municipality of Glarus Süd in August 2022, Axpo is now planning to build a ten-megawatt solar plant in the same region. The plant will supply particularly important winter electricity and also increase value creation in the municipality.
Landfills or spoil heaps are just waiting to be developed for solar parks. But project planners need to know what they are getting into. Planning and construction have very specific pitfalls.
The planner from Kolitzheim ventures into difficult terrain. This is because LEAG's new solar park is being built on an ash settling pit, which poses a structural challenge.
The Berlin public utility has installed a 100-kilowatt photovoltaic system on the new building of the Gewobag housing company. The hurdles for such projects have still not all been removed.
The new solar plant at the Vienna South freight terminal will supply a total of 2.2 gigawatt hours annually. The electricity flows directly into the overhead line for the trains.
In Switzerland, areas along national roads will be made available free of charge this year for the construction of photovoltaic plants, among other things. This would allow an additional 55 gigawatts of output to be built.
RWE has installed its first floating PV system on the former cooling water lake of a coal-fired power plant in the Netherlands. The generator is part of an overall concept to turn the former coal-fired power plant into a renewable energy site.
Trianel is building a total of seven solar plants with an output of almost 80 megawatts in the area around Bitburg in Germany. In addition to municipal participation, the project partners have implemented all possible measures to reconcile the installation with nature conservation and the local population.
The Schletter Group continues its growth course in Central America. They have recently supplied the mounting systems for a 6-megawatt solar power plant by the project developer Advanced Energy de El Salvador.
