Since December 9th, the Thuringian city of Gera produces electricity from solar power almost in the city centre. On the former premises of a gas power plant now more than 4,900 modules quietly produce clean energy. Project developer Energieversorgung Gera GmbH (EGG) called for expression of interest for the 2.1 Million Euro investment. Among 21 competitors, Hamburg based SunEnergy Europe GmbH won the pitch and accepted as general contractor for the project. The money is well invested since few were the options for a future use for the premises. By using e.g. industrial wasteland, landfills and unused commercial areas, cities and communes can do much to maximize their solar power generating potential. SunEnergy Europe GmbH's CEO Hartwig Westphalen: "Given, areas like these are not the easiest to develop a project for, but benefits like we have in Gera show that it is well worth the effort." The 1.2 MWp installed capacity will cover the annual electricity need of 370 households. For more detailed information please refer to our press release.
