The Hamburg-based CEE Group, asset manager for renewable energies, has joined forces with GOLDBECK SOLAR, the builder of large-scale PV plants, and commissioned the Döllen solar par, currently one of the largest ground-mounted plants in Germany. The Döllen solar park has an installed capacity of 154.77 megawatts peak.
Approximately one year after the groundbreaking ceremony, the CEE Group and GOLDBECK SOLAR invited guests to the inauguration of the large-scale Döllen solar park project (in the municipality of Gumtow) in the Prignitz district of Brandenburg on 30 June 2023. In addition to official representatives from the region, many local residents and representatives of the partners involved in the construction of the plant also accepted the invitation. During the inauguration ceremony, the park was put into operation by symbolically connecting the “green plug” to the electricity grid. Following the ceremony, guests were delighted with an opportunity to personally explore the vast dimensions and cutting-edge technology of the solar park through a guided tour. The architectural firm Dressler also presented the archaeological finds findings that were unearthed on the site during construction of the project.
With an impressive installed capacity of 154.77 MWp, the Döllen solar park is set to generate approximately 160,000 megawatt hours of clean, renewable “green electricity” annually. This significant output equates to powering approximately 36,000 four-person households with sustainable energy. Situated on a former agricultural area in Döllen, within the municipality of Gumtow in the Prignitz district, the free-standing solar park was meticulously planned, constructed, and erected by GOLDBECK SOLAR GmbH, headquartered in Hirschberg an der Bergstraße. The project was successfully executed in collaboration with antlike solar from Elmenhorst/Lichtenhagen. The project was financed by DAL Deutsche Anlagen-Leasing GmbH & Co. KG. Solar modules from Astronergy. The electricity from the solar park is fed into the grid of E.DIS Netz AG, a regional energy grid operator for Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In cooperation with E.DIS, the transformer station in Schönhagen was also built for the solar park.
“We are pleased that the solar park at the Döllen site has been commissioned on schedule. With a nominal output of 154.7 MWp, this project represents a significant milestone in advancing the energy transition in Germany. We extend our sincere appreciation to all the individuals involved for their exceptional professionalism and consistent commitment, particularly amidst the challenges encountered during this mega project,” stated Detlef Schreiber, CEO of the CEE Group.
