A total of around 22,500 households will be supplied with renewable energy from the solar park, avoiding CO2 emissions of approximately 50,000 tons per year.
After acquiring the area of the former military airbase, Q-Cells obtained all approvals required for the construction of the solar park in close cooperation with local officials.
Now Q-Cells has found two renowned investors in the solar energy sector who acquired the project.
The neighbouring solar parks Brandenburg-Briest West and Brandenburg-Briest Ost, which are being built on land within the municipality of the city of Brandenburg, have a total capacity of around 60MW and were purchased by the Hamburg investment company LUXCARA.
The sub-project of around 31MW being built in the Briest-Havelsee district since mid-October was bought by the MCG Group in Berlin.
In approximately eight weeks, the three solar parks are planned to be completed by the end of this year and connected to public grid via a transformer station built by Q-Cells especially for the purpose.
Around 383,000 Q-Cells crystalline solar modules will be installed.
In October, Q-Cells secured an order for a 30MW project in California through PG&E, one of the largest electricity suppliers in the US.
