"I am pleased that we were able to make an important contribution to the energy turnaround in Kazakhstan through project development and technical planning right up to the building permit for a solar park of this size," says Andreas Renker, Managing Director of Green Energy 3000 Holding GmbH based in Leipzig. "At the same time, the successful project sale underlines our grown competence in project development and technical planning of utility scale solar power plants, including high-voltage connection, and it confirms our successful internationalization strategy in and outside of Europe," adds Mr. Renker.
Since 2016, the Green Energy 3000 Group has been planning the solar park with a nominal output of 63 MWp and a forecast annual production of approx. 111 million kWh. This corresponds to the average electricity consumption of approximately 21,000 inhabitants of Kazakhstan. The solar park extends over an area of more than 60 hectares and will be connected to the public grid at 110 kV level via a transformer station specially planned and to be built by Green Energy 3000.
Since entering the market in Kazakhstan, the Green Energy 3000 group has consistently driven project development forward despite all local challenges. The group is present in Kazakhstan through a branch office in Astana and aims to successfully implement further projects in the wind and solar sector within the newly created tender system.
In France, the second important foreign market for Green Energy 3000, the Pauvres and Villers-le-Tourneur wind farms were successfully sold to investors. The 5 MWp Chassenard solar park is currently being offered for sale.
In addition to its international success, Green Energy 3000 maintains its successful presence in its home market of Germany. At the end of February, a project sales contract was signed with a German investor for the Bavarian 12.3 MW Gauaschach wind farm (Bad Kissingen district). Completion of the wind farm, which will be erected under demanding conditions at a forest site, is scheduled for December 2019.
Green Energy 3000 Holding is an integrated group of companies in the field of Renewable Energy with long lasting international experience in development, construction and operation of wind parks, solar parks and, increasingly, battery storages. In total, the group has an extensive international project portfolio and plans to commission numerous other solar and wind power plants developed by Green Energy 3000 next year, thus making a further significant contribution to the expansion of renewable energies.
