en.Wedoany.com Reported - RWE is expanding its solar hybrid plant project along the A44n motorway between Bedburg and Jüchen in Germany, while simultaneously constructing a 75MW battery energy storage system. In the second phase of expansion, the project will add approximately 20MWp of installed capacity, bringing its total scale to over 100MWp.

The entire project installs 171,600 solar modules, generating enough electricity to supply approximately 34,000 households. Of these, 141,000 modules are already in operation, with the remaining 30,600 modules scheduled for installation by the end of 2026. The battery energy storage system has a capacity of 75MW (approximately 150MWh) and is expected to be completed by 2027, with construction set to begin in late summer after obtaining permits.

Sopna Sury, CEO of RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, stated that by expanding the solar project and building a new battery energy storage system, the company is continuously committed to scaling up renewable energy in the Rhenish mining region; along the A44n motorway on former open-pit mining sites, wind power, solar energy, and battery storage are jointly driving the energy transition. Additionally, RWE is constructing the Bedburg 3 wind farm nearby with a capacity of approximately 60MW. The company operates and develops a total installed capacity of around 600MW from wind and solar power in the region.
