German solar developers Belectric and Ampyr solar Europe (ASE) have agreed to build several large-scale solar parks in Germany with a combined capacity of over 200 MW over the next two years.
The first two projects, with a capacity of 85 MW and 65 MW respectively, will be located in the state of Brandenburg, Belectric said on June 22. Implementation of the 65 MWp project was seen as challenging as it required the construction of a 25km line and a substation.
The projects will be developed by ASE, while Belectric will be responsible for design, procurement and construction (EPC). The first two solar parks are scheduled to start construction by the end of this year.
About a year ago, AGP Group and Hartree Partners merged NaGa Solar with the Ampyr Energy UK solar joint venture to create ASE. In February, the company secured a €400 million loan from CarVal investors to deploy more than 2 GW of solar in Europe by 2025, with a focus on Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. The 2-GW combination is the first step in ASE's first step towards reaching its target of 5 GW of solar power in Northwest Europe.
