Near the city of Welzow (district Oberspreewald-Lausitz), juwi is building a 10-megawatt photovoltaic system for Lausitz Energie Bergbau AG and Lausitz Energie Kraftwerke AG (LEAG) on an airfield close to the Welzow-Süd opencast mine. Construction will begin shortly, commissioning is scheduled for the end of October 2019.
The plant will produce about 10 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually after completion. This corresponds to the annual electricity requirement of more than 3,000 households. More than 27,000 modules from manufacturer Astronergy and two central inverters from SMA are used.
The technical management of the plant will be handled by juwi Operations & Maintenance GmbH: in the first phase over a period of five years.
