Solar park Althegnenberg
Continuation of a dependable collaboration
After the 5.3 MW plant in Miegersbach, KG Allgemeine Leasing GmbH & Co. (KGAL) contracted Phoenix Solar AG (previously Phönix Sonnen-Strom AG) to construct a solar power plant for a second time. This photovoltaic power plant provides an output of 2.2 MW, and is part of a solar fund initiated by KGAL. Thanks to the great support from the municipality of Althegnenberg and its citizens, it was possible to implement this largescale project after a two-year planning and development phase, and it now supplies around 700 households with environmentally friendly solar power.
The community of Althegnenberg in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck serves as a model, and is taking a further step towards an energy revolution in the field of renewable energy sources.
The community‘s goal is to be completely powered by renewable energy sources by the year 2030. At the opening ceremony, numerous mayors and community board members from surrounding districts informed themselves of the economic possibilities of photovoltaic systems.
Due to its location directly on the railway route between Munich and Augsburg, the solar power plant is attracting the attention of a broad public. The order volume amounts to 8.5 million euros, and comprises 34,500 thin-film modules from the manufacturer First Solar.
