EnBW begin on 17.3-MW solar project in Baden-Wuerttemberg

• Germany's EnBW Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg AG (ETR: EBK) has actually begun the building and construction of a 17.3-MW solar park in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg which is expected to provide tidy electrical power to 5,810 households.

The solar farm will be found in the town of Emmingen-Liptingen, southern Germany, as well as will certainly be Baden-Wuerttemberg's biggest solar facility in operation so far, EnBW claimed on Tuesday.

It will certainly comprise more than 32,000 solar modules which will be set up on an area of 15 hectares (37.07 acres). When functional by the end of 2022, Emmingen-Liptingen is expected to create up to 20.3 million kWh of eco-friendly electrical energy yearly which will suffice to conserve 12,750 tonnes of carbon exhausts per year.

The Karlsruhe-based power business broadened its solar organization in the home market in June with the purchase of a portfolio of pre-developed solar projects of 400 MW in Brandenburg from Procon Solar GmbH. The bargain includes a choice for the transfer of an additional 400 MW of early-stage projects by the start of following February.
