LEAG Starts 133MW PV Plant in Bohrau, Promoting Biodiversity and Local Involvement
LEAG has initiated construction of a substantial photovoltaic plant in the 'Energiepark Bohrau', boasting a capacity of 133 megawatts. The first phase is slated for completion by the second half of 2026.
The solar park is being erected on reclaimed agricultural land from the Jaenschwalde mine. Farmers will play a role in managing and mowing the land. LEAG plans to connect the plant to the power grid via its Heinersbrück substation, also in the second half of 2026.
To enhance biodiversity, the project includes blossoming strips, wooden structures, wildlife corridors, and targeted plantings of flowering meadows. The photovoltaic plant will feature a combination of south and east-west module rows.
LEAG's ambitious 'GigawattFactory' in Lusatia is also in the pipeline. This large-scale energy infrastructure will comprise photovoltaics, storage facilities, wind farms, and flexible gas power plants, with a total capacity of about two gigawatts. Initially, a portion of the photovoltaic plant and the neighbouring 'Forst-Briesnig II' wind farm will connect to the grid in the second half of 2026, with batteries to follow at a later stage.
LEAG's 'Energiepark Bohrau' photovoltaic plant is on track for completion by late 2026, promising significant renewable energy capacity. The project's design also aims to promote biodiversity and local involvement. Meanwhile, LEAG's 'GigawattFactory' plans to further bolster Lusatia's renewable energy landscape.
