EnBW begins dealing with 187 MW unsubsidized PV plant in Germany

• The utility will certainly develop the project this year on 164 hectares of land simply beyond Berlin. It will certainly be the biggest solar park to be created beyond Germany's reward system for solar as well as renewables.

EnBW began building today on the biggest solar park to be integrated in Germany without public aids. The German utility did not hold a groundbreaking event for the project, however the main beginning signal has actually been offered.
