German Utility enviaM Group Takes On Ambitious 700MW Solar Projects
German utility enviaM Group has embarked on an impressive solar journey, undertaking projects with a total potential of more than 700MW in central Germany. This significant venture is a collaborative effort between enviaM subsidiary envia THERM and the ASG Group under the joint venture Ventura Holding. The goal of this partnership is to accelerate the expansion of renewable energies in the region, bolstering central Germany as a green business and industrial hub. Patrick Kather, enviaM Board Member for Production and Sales, emphasized the scale of the project, stating, “The solar parks under development have an output of more than 700MW. This is immensely big. In purely mathematical terms, this corresponds to the electricity requirements of 270,000 households per year. The project is one of the largest and most important initiatives in the enviaM group and drives the establishment of business and industry that rely on green energy.”
Thomas Kühnert, Managing Director of envia THERM GmbH, added, “In order to achieve the planned business growth with regional energy solutions, we want to significantly expand electricity generation from wind and solar power plants in the next few years. The cooperation and joint venture with the ASG Group is therefore an optimal complement to our activities in central Germany.” The solar projects are primarily located in Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, and Saxony. The first building permit for a solar park with around 72MWp in southern Brandenburg is expected in 2024. Radenko Krpelj, Chief Executive of ASG Versum, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “We are pleased to have found a regionally known, competent, and strong partner in envia THERM who values our skills in developing projects ready for construction. Both companies share the goal of making the energy supply in their shared home region sustainable.” The cooperation between envia THERM and the ASG Group, along with the associated transaction, was notarized and completed on August 1, 2024. Over the next few years, the planned systems will be built gradually as they become ready for construction, with the generated green electricity being used in conjunction with battery storage in regional energy solutions. #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #SustainableFuture #CleanEnergy #CentralGermany #EnergyTransition #SolarProjects #GreenBusiness #EnvironmentalImpact
