Bremen-based project developer celebrates the inauguration of its solar park
in Brandenburg
Great weather at the inauguration ceremony for Energiekontor AG's first own
solar park in Garzau-Garzin
Bremen, 12 June 2018. Last Friday, Energiekontor AG celebrated the official
inauguration of its first group-owned solar park in Garzau-Garzin,
Brandenburg, in bright sunshine. In addition to representatives of the
partner companies and banks, guests included representatives of the local
authorities and municipality, property owners as well as members of the
local communities.
In their speeches, the EU head of solar module manufacturer Hanwha/Q Cells,
Maengyoon Kim, the Vice Director of the District Department Märkische
Schweiz, Dirk Siebenmorgen, and the project manager of Energiekontor AG,
Piotr Jankowski, all emphasised the excellent cooperation. Mr Jankowski
expressed his thanks to the local residents as well as to the
representatives of the municipality and the authorities, and praised the
strong support for the project, which also stands for the contribution of
the region to the general energy transition in Germany.
In his welcoming address, Günter Lammers, Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory
Board and co-founder of Energiekontor, explained that the expected annual
output of the entire plant of over 10 million kilowatt hours is
mathematically sufficient to cover the entire electricity demand of the
surrounding region. The solar park extends for several kilometres along a
railway line and has a peak output of around 10 megawatts. Energiekontor is
thus increasing the capacity of its own portfolio of wind farms and solar
parks to around 270 megawatts. With the proceeds from the sale of
electricity, Lammers continued, Energiekontor will be able to cover all
running costs related to project development, which ensures financial
stability for the company's further growth. Benefiting from many efficiency
measures introduced by the company and the successful efforts on the part of
component manufacturers to cut manufacturing costs, Energiekontor is in a
position to implement wind farms and solar parks and achieve profitability,
despite the increase in competition. Energiekontor not only wants to
participate in the energy transition but, in order to push forward the
breakthrough of renewable energy sources, it also wants to be one of the
pioneers in realising the first wind or solar parks with lower levelized
cost of energy than conventional energy.

About Energiekontor AG:
For the last 25 years, Energiekontor has stood for a sound approach to
business and a wealth of experience in wind power. Formed in Bremerhaven in
1990, the company was one of the pioneers in the industry and is now one of
the leading German project developers. Its core business covers the
planning, construction and operational management of wind farms in Germany
and abroad, and was expanded to include solar power in 2010. Energiekontor
also currently owns and operates 34 wind farms and one solar park with total
rated power of around 270 megawatts. Now, Energiekontor AG intends to extend
its pioneering role to commercial aspects and to realise wind farms and
solar parks at market prices without state subsidies in all target markets
as quickly as possible.

the US (Austin/Texas) and France (Toulouse). The formation of an additional
branch office in France is currently in the making.
Our track record speaks for itself: We have realised 118 wind farms with
total rated power of around 940 megawatts and three solar parks with total
rated power of about 30 megawatts. This corresponds to an investment volume
of more than EUR 1.6 billion.
