BELECTRIC, member of Elevion Group, is celebrating two milestones with the recent commissioning of a solar farm and a battery storage system. The solar energy specialist is one of the first companies to break the mark of one gigawatt (GW) of installed photovoltaic capacity in Germany. Since its foundation in 2001, BELECTRIC has already installed systems with a total output of more than five gigawatts worldwide.

With the recent commissioning of a solar farm in Germany and a battery storage system in the United Kingdom, BELECTRIC reaches two important milestones. With almost 520 systems constructed worldwide, the photovoltaic company breaks the mark of a total of five gigawatts of installed capacity. In its home market of Germany, BELECTRIC is one of the first companies to install solar plants with a total output of more than one gigawatt. This corresponds to a total area of around 1,400 football pitches with today's technology, or roughly the output of the largest conventional large-scale power plants. Since its foundation 23 years ago, BELECTRIC has been making a clear contribution to the energy transition – including one of the largest independent solar farms in Germany. The Tramm-Göthen solar plant measures 172 megawatts peak and has been converting sunlight into electricity since the end of 2021.

“We are proud to have reached these significant milestones. The outlook for the current and upcoming year also confirms BELECTRIC as a reliable and experienced partner: we are currently constructing solar farms with a total capacity of around one gigawatt and have a large project pipeline ahead of us. We look forward to making them a reality together with our employees, who now number almost 600”, explains Dr Thorsten Blanke, Managing Director of BELECTRIC.
