German municipal utilities team up to develop 100 MWp solar plant on Ruegen

• German municipal utilities Stadtwerke Muenchen (SWM) as well as Stadtwerke Augsburg (SWA) are preparing to construct a 100 MWp solar park on the island of Ruegen in the Baltic Sea which is expected to provide green electrical power to some 40,000 households from 2025 on.
