Vattenfall, a European energy company active in renewable power generation, has officially opened its 46 MW Nauen Solar Park near Berlin, Germany.

The solar park has around 80,000 panels across 40 hectares and is expected to generate about 47 GWh of electricity annually. It was built without government subsidies. The project’s economics are supported by a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Wieland Group, a copper and copper-alloy semi-finished products manufacturer. Wieland will purchase the plant’s entire electricity output, which is expected to cover around 15% of the electricity it buys annually for its German sites.
