Solar and nature in harmony: 2.5 MWp solar park with storage in the Eifel region

The Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm is a district in the far west of Rhineland-Palatinate, bordering Belgium and Luxembourg. In terms of area, the district is the largest and also the least populated in Rhineland-Palatinate. This is also due to the fact that parts of the district belong to the Südeifel Nature Park and the German-Luxembourg Nature Park. One focus of the nature park’s work is the development and implementation of projects to promote the experience of nature and the countryside, sustainable regional development and nature conservation. This also includes projects that support the production and use of sustainable energy – such as the new solar park with connected battery storage, which has been in operation since June 2024.
