Project development

Besides wind energy, the generation of renewable energy from photovoltaics is making an important contribution towards realising the energy transition. wpd reflects this contribution with its so-called “utility scale” solar projects: large-scale, free-standing solar farms in the megawatt range which produce reliable electricity for an affordable price.

As an experienced partner, wpd supports every step of the process from the planning phase via finance and permits to implementation, working closely with government agencies, municipalities and landowners. For roughly 30 years, wpd has specialised in successfully connecting renewable energy systems to the grid. In short, our specialist departments know exactly what’s to be done, when, how and where. This experience is backed by proven contacts with banks, manufacturers and suppliers. After all, good contacts form the basis for the uncomplicated, efficient realisation of projects. As a medium-sized company, we offer you all our services from a single source.

Since 2016, wpd has been heavily expanding its commitment in the area of solar energy, and today it possesses extensive know-how and a burgeoning project pipeline. The domestic and international projects that we have realised underline this expertise.

wpd currently operates around 142 Mwp of installed solar capacity around the world, and is developing a further 8,015 Mwp in countries such as Germany, the USA, Belgium, France, Greece, Taiwan and the Philippines. Around 100 Mwp are currently installed in the German market.

wpd offers comprehensive support for the successful implementation of solar energy projects to ensure that your project delivers an important contribution towards realising the energy transition.
