Approximately one year after the groundbreaking ceremony, the CEE Group and GOLDBECK SOLAR invited guests to the inauguration of the large-scale Döllen solar park project (in the municipality of Gumtow) in the Prignitz district of Brandenburg on 30 June 2023. In addition to official representatives from the region, many local residents and representatives of the partners involved in the construction of the plant also followed the invitation. During the inauguration ceremony, the park was put into operation by symbolically connecting the "green plug" to the electricity grid. Following the ceremony, guests had the opportunity to experience the dimensions and technology of the solar park for themselves during a guided tour. The architectural firm Dressler also presented the archaeological findings that were unearthed on the site during the project.
With an impressive installed capacity of 154.77 MWp, the Döllen solar park is set to generate approximately 160,000 megawatt hours of clean, renewable "green electricity" annually. This significant output equates to powering around 36,000 four-person households with sustainable electricity. Sutuated on a former agricultural area in Döllen within in the municipality of Gumtow in the Prignitz district, the tree-standing solar park war meticulously planned, constructed and erected by GOLDBECK SOLAR GmbH, headquartered in Hirschberg an der Bergstraße. The project was successfully executed in collaboration with antlike solar from Elmenhorst/Lichtenhagen. The project was financed by DAL Deutsche Anlagen-Leasing GmbH & Co. KG. Solar modules from Astronergy. The electricity from the solar park is fed into the grid of E.DIS Netz AG, a regional electricity distribution system operator for Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In cooperation with E.DIS, the transformer station in Schönhagen was also built for the solar park.
