Solar energy facility debuts outdoors at WSW Dönberg location
Refreshed Text:
Hey there, mate! Let's talk about the groovy new solar plant in Siebeneick. This bad boy's popping up on a 5-hectare plot owned by the local utilities. The total capacity? A hefty 3.2 megawatts peak! Once built, they'll beam the juice into the grid through a nearby network station - WSW will lay a fresh 250-meter cable route for the occasion along Siebeneicker Straße.
"We've been prepping like champs these past months," says WSW, "with planning, permit applications, grant requests, and sweet conversations with the locals."
Now, it's worth mentioning that Siebeneick isn't exactly a privileged spot for free-field solar projects, according to the Renewable Energy Act. An outdated plan called for a transformer station on the WSW site back in the '60s, but those dreams never came to life. Apparently, part of the land is still occupied by overhead line masts, which are sticking around. Since a change of land use ain't necessary, there was no complex planning procedure needed.
The state of North Rhine-Westphalia's stumped up the dough for this project through the Progres.NRW program - the Climate Protection Technology area, to be precise.
As for the future, WSW's already sniffed out another potential location for a solar plant - in Großsporkert, Ronsdorf district. This place is just 200 meters from the highway, making it a prime spot for building large free-field solar plants, given the Renewable Energy Act.

Enrichment Data Reference:
- General Information on Solar Energy Projects:
- Capacity: Varies based on available land and project goals. To find out specifics, check with local news sources or the project developers.
- Funding: Typically comes from private investors, government subsidies, and grants. In Germany, projects like these might be supported by the Renewable Energy Act (EEG).
- Renewable Energy Act (EEG): Provides priority grid access and guaranteed feed-in tariffs for renewable energy producers in Germany, promoting the development of renewable energy.
- The solar plant in Siebeneick is significantly contributing to the science and industry of renewable-energy, making strides in environmental-science and finance, as it generates clean energy from the sun.
- With its hefty 3.2 megawatts peak capacity, the solar plant in Siebeneick is a step forward for the renewable-energy industry, boosting the country's commitment to climate protection technology.
- WSW, excited about the future, has already identified another potential location for a solar plant in Großsporkert, Ronsdorf district, positioning it as a prime spot for large free-field solar plants due to its proximity to the highway and the Renewable Energy Act.
