2 megawatts: Conergy wins tender of Stadtwerke Trier for two solar parks
Realised 13 megawatts in collaboration with SWT Stadtwerke Trier since 2009
Hamburg, 16 May 2012 - Conergy extends the existing collaboration with
Stadtwerke Trier since 2009 by winning a tender for two solar parks with a
total capacity of 2.2 megawatts. For both power plants, the local energy
provider relies on 100% Conergy quality and components. Conergy acts as
general contractor and is responsible for planning and design of the parks
as well as realisation, construction and component supply.
Solar park 'Mehring IV' with a total capacity of about 1.2 megawatts will be
built on an open area along federal motorway A1, while the 1 megawatt solar
power plant in Welschbillig is located on a former military terrain between
Trier and Bitburg. Both parks will be connected to the grid at the end of
June 2012. Following the construction of the 8.4 megawatts plant in Föhren
in 2009 and the supply of components for the 2.6 megawatts solar park
'Mehring III' last year, Conergy and Stadtwerke Trier have already realised
four mutual solar projects with a total capacity of about 13 megawatts.
Alexander Gorski, member of the Conergy Management Board, said: 'We are
delighted that we have won the tender and can realise two more projects for
Stadtwerke Trier. Close collaboration with energy providers bears
interesting opportunities for the future of solar energy and numerous new
business models in the long run. In the near future, photovoltaics will not
be a primarily financial product any longer. Instead, the reliable provision
of clean and affordable energy will enjoy priority.'
The two solar projects are a further milestone for Stadtwerke Trier and the
expansion of renewable energy plants in the greater Trier region. The
municipal energy provider wants to cover more than half of the city's energy
consumption with renewable energy by 2025. Stadtwerke Trier relies on the
expansion of both wind and solar energy as well as planning of a 300
megawatts pumped-storage power plant. The latter is to regulate the extended
and strongly fluctuating power generation from renewable energy for the
customers in the region of Trier.
Already today, Stadtwerke Trier operates solar parks with a total capacity
of more than 30 megawatts; more than one third realised together with
Conergy. Not for nothing: 'We have made very good experiences with Conergy
in the past,' said Heiko Bollig, Director Renewable Energy at SWT Stadtwerke
Trier. 'The quality of planning, realisation as well as the components has
been excellent with all parks so far. We get everything from one source,
from one point of contact. It is essential for us as an energy provider,
that the power plants are reliable for the entire runtime, thus generating
constant and high returns. This pays for us.'
In the two new solar parks of the Stadtwerke portfolio, approximately 9,500
Conergy PowerPlus modules on SolarLinea mounting systems will generate more
than 2,200 megawatt hours of clean solar energy. This energy will be fed
into the grid by seven Conergy IPG 300C central inverters in Conergy CIS
central inverter stations. The generated energy can provide 800 households
in the region of Trier with emission-free energy. At the same time, the
solar park avoids the emission of 1,300 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
