EnBW has officially commenced the construction of an 88MW solar project in Vierlinden, Germany. The event was marked by a ceremony attended by Vierlinden's mayor Constantin Schutze, along with representatives from the local municipality and the Seelow-Land office. The solar park is expected to be completed and connected to the grid by the end of 2025.
In addition to the solar capacity, the project will incorporate 13.4 MWh of battery energy storage systems to enhance the flexibility of solar power delivery to the grid. This integration will help optimize energy use and ensure more reliable power supply from renewable sources.
The construction phase required a thorough explosive ordnance clearance due to the area's historical significance. The region was heavily impacted by the “Battle of the Seelow Heights” in April 1945, and remnants from the battle, including gun emplacements and unexploded munitions, were discovered. To manage these hazards, controlled demolitions were carried out to safely clear the area before construction could proceed.
