Energiekontor receives building permits for three wind park projects and expects construction to start on further projects In addition to the two solar parks Seukendorf and Letschin, which are already under construction, and the two repowering wind parks Oederquart and Würselen, with a total nominal power of more than 120 megawatts, the financial close for several wind and solar projects is also being prepared, meaning that further projects with a total generation capacity of more than 100 megawatts are set to start construction soon. More are to follow. „With these new approvals, we now have a total of 36 building permits for wind and solar park projects in Germany, Scotland and France with a total nominal power of around 1.2 gigawatts. This means that we are close to the total generation capacity of all the projects that we have ever realised since our company was founded”, says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG. “At the same time, we have brought more projects into mature development phases than ever before. In addition to the continuous further development of our project pipeline, the task now is to successively realise these projects.” Since the company was founded, Energiekontor has realised more than 160 wind and solar parks with a total generation capacity of 1.4 gigawatts – this is enough to cover the average annual electricity demand of around 810,000 German households and as such contributes to saving of around two million tonnes of CO2 per year. The further expansion of the project pipeline in the first half of 2024 (11.0 gigawatts excluding US project rights) shows the growth potential and the contribution that Energiekontor can make to the expansion of renewable energies in the future. Around one third of this is accounted for by solar projects and two thirds by wind projects. In total, around 2.5 gigawatts are in one of the mature project development phases (building permit, financial close, under construction), in which around 90 percent of the value added of a project is realised. About Energiekontor AG For over 30 years, Energiekontor has stood for a solid business policy and extensive experience in renewable energies.
