Bremen, September 24, 2025 - Energiekontor AG ("Energiekontor"; $EKT (-4,85%) ), one of Germany's leading project developers and operators of wind and solar parks based in Bremen, has commissioned the recently completed Königsfeld solar park and is expanding its steadily growing proprietary park portfolio. The power purchaser is Currenta GmbH & Co. OHG ("Currenta"), which will sustainably supply further energy services in the future via the PPA agreed with Energiekontor.
The Königsfeld solar park was built in the district of Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis in Baden-Württemberg and was recently put into operation. With a total nominal output of around 4.6 megawatt peak, the average expected annual yield of the solar park is around 5.5 million kilowatt hours - sufficient to supply around 1,700 average households in Germany with regeneratively generated electricity and save around 3,800 tons of CO2 per year.
As part of Energiekontor's own portfolio, the solar park will from now on contribute to the
Energiekontor's electricity generation income from the Group's own wind and solar parks. It has an EEG surcharge from the Federal Network Agency. Energiekontor and Currenta have also concluded a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the first few years. For Currenta, one of Germany's largest chemical park operators, the PPA is another important building block in its own sustainability strategy. The green electricity from the solar park will be used specifically to make the energy applications at the Chempark sites sustainable and thus reduce the environmental impact.
This increases the total generation capacity of Energiekontor's own park portfolio to around 450 megawatts, spread over 36 wind and four solar parks. The solar share is now around 20 percent. Seven further parks with a total generation capacity of around 200 megawatts are currently under construction or in the construction preparation phase, which should increase Energiekontor's own park portfolio to at least 650 megawatts in the future.
"Following the realization of the Letschin solar park in the first quarter of 2025, we are continuing to consistently implement the expansion path for our own park portfolio with the commissioning of the Königsfeld solar park. The continuous expansion and diversification of our own electricity generation not only strengthens the resilience and profitability of our business model, but also makes an important contribution to the energy transition in Germany. We are particularly pleased to be able to make this contribution
to make this contribution through the renewed cooperation with Currenta in southern Germany," explains Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG.
"We are delighted to be taking a further step in our sustainability strategy with Energiekontor AG and the new solar project in Königsfeld," explains Matthias Gasten, responsible for Energy Trading and Dispatching at Currenta. "With the PPA, we can supply further energy services, such as the e-charging infrastructure, in a sustainable manner."
