The Benningen Solar Park in Bavaria has a total capacity of approximately 9.5 MWp and generates about 11,000 MWh of climate-friendly electricity annually.
The photovoltaic plant is located south of Memmingen in the Unterallgäu district and began operations in 2023. A total of 17,280 solar modules were installed, which efficiently convert solar energy into electricity and collectively achieve a total capacity of approximately 9.5 MWp.
With an annual electricity generation of approximately 11,000 MWh, the solar park can theoretically meet the electricity needs of about 3,000 households. At the same time, the use of renewable energy results in annual CO₂ savings of approximately 7,500 metric tons. A unique feature of the project is the close collaboration with the municipality of Benningen. Part of the photovoltaic system is located on municipally-owned land and is operated by the municipality itself. The solar park thus combines the expansion of renewable energy with regional engagement and demonstrates how municipalities can actively contribute to a sustainable energy supply.
