Zelestra is advancing the construction of a 27MWdc Klevenow solar power plant in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region of Germany. The project has received EEG tender approval and is expected to generate approximately 28,700 MWh of clean electricity annually, providing renewable energy support to the local area.
Significant progress has been made in the construction process of the Klevenow solar power plant. Following preliminary work, most of the ground-mounted support structures are in place, half of the low-voltage cables have been laid, and the high-voltage transformer has been installed in the substation area. The solar modules are expected to be delivered to the site within two weeks, with the entire site planned to be fully operational commercially by the end of the second quarter of 2026.
The solar power plant is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 9,500 tons per year and meet the commercial and industrial electricity demand of the Pomeranian Triangle region. Furthermore, the project has created around 40 local jobs during the construction phase, promoting regional economic development.
Zelestra also plans to develop a 30MWh battery energy storage system for the Klevenow plant to enable hybrid operation of solar and storage, enhancing grid stability and energy utilization efficiency.
Robert Hienz, CEO of Zelestra Germany, stated: "The Klevenow project marks the beginning of a busy construction phase for Zelestra in Germany. We anticipate starting construction on over 120MW of solar capacity this year across five projects approved in the EEG tender. We look forward to achieving full commercial operation at Klevenow this summer and gradually advancing our nationwide pipeline of over 2GW of battery storage and solar projects."
The Klevenow solar power plant is part of Zelestra's market expansion strategy in Germany following its acquisition of East Energy in 2024. The advancement of this project contributes to Germany's energy transition goals and promotes the widespread application of clean energy technologies.
