Voslapper Groden

New 14-hectare solar park could supply up to 4,500 homes with renewable energy

Spanning an area of about 14 hectares, the solar park will accommodate over 28,500 solar modules, which will be securely mounted using specialized anchoring systems designed for the landfill site. This facility will generate approximately 17,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually and would be able to power up to 4,500 households.

The site is already fenced and equipped with landscaping measures. Sheep will continue to be grazing the green areas. This grazing supports renaturation, promotes biodiversity, and contributes to ecological balance, while the PV system provides renewable energy.

Commissioning is expected in the first half of 2026. Here you can find out more about our activities in Wilhelmshaven (german only) and our latest press release about Voslapper Groden.

Jörg Lennertz, Uniper Renewables, CEO

By utilizing the ash landfill site of the former Wilhelmshaven coal-fired power plant, we are transforming unused industrial land into a valuable source of renewable energy. The project highlights Uniper's commitment to Wilhelmshaven and the sustainable use of existing infrastructure to ensure a secure energy supply for the future. The PV Park Voslapper Groden, together with the planned electrolysis plant, the hydrogen import terminal, and the visitor center, forms an important cornerstone of our regional project portfolio.

Our projects

Tamworth Solar Farm

Uniper will further expand the supply of renewable energy in the UK with the Tamworth solar project in Staffordshire. With a potential capacity of 45 megawatt peak (MWp), this project could generate enough green electricity to power up to 15,900 homes per year.
