Opening of the largest solar park in Rhineland-Palatinate / cable route Grenderich – Bremm (Eifel/Hunsrück) with IGR participation in planning and construction

In autumn 2024, ENERPARC AG opened the largest solar cluster (ground-mounted photovoltaic systems/solar park) in Rhineland-Palatinate. Consisting of nine systems, it has a total output of around 200 megawatts and can supply around 54,000 households with solar power annually. In order to connect the systems to the power grid, 11.5 km of cable routes were required.

According to the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of the Environment and Energy, it is a unique pilot project in Germany which combines drinking water protection, energy efficiency (of various media) and AI/state-of-the-art control technology: the so called “Eifel Pipeline“ between Trier and the Oleftalsperre in the North Rhine-Westphalian Eifel.

The Swiss-Croatian cooperation programme co-financed the construction of the sewage pipeline Skrad to Donja Dobra and the public sewage system of the settlement Gornja Dobra. The total ivestment amounts to approximately EUR 1.25 million.

Palatia GmbH, a subsidiary of igr GmbH, is involved as a developer in the realization of new development areas. 

In connection with the development of two climate-neutral model building areas in Saulheim and Wörrstadt (building area „Hinter der Bahn, 2nd construction phase“), and with the support of the Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy and Mobility/MKUEM, the Wörrstadt municipality has developed an online manual for municipalities in Rhineland-Palatinate „climate protection, energy and climate change adaption in developement plans“.
