JUWI Hits 1 GW Mark in Construction as Global Solar PV Portfolio Tops 900 MW

Key Takeaways

JUWI has reached a milestone of 1 GW of renewable energy capacity under simultaneous construction globally.
The company is installing 1.3 million solar modules and building 46 wind turbines with a total capacity of about 270 MW.
JUWI is expanding its projects across various countries, including significant developments in Greece, Africa, the US, and Italy.

Renewable Energy Milestone Achieved

JUWI, a global renewable energy developer, has announced that it is simultaneously constructing 1 GW of renewable energy capacity worldwide, marking a significant expansion in its solar and wind energy initiatives.

The company is currently engaged in the installation of approximately 1.3 million solar modules across 12 photovoltaic (PV) projects while constructing 46 wind turbines that will contribute around 270 MW. JUWI expects to commission nearly 1 GW of new renewable energy capacity in the upcoming months.

CEO Jost Backhaus emphasized that this achievement showcases the company’s capabilities in engineering, planning, and project execution across various international markets. A notable project is the Trifylli solar park in northern Greece, part of the 156 MW Clover PV portfolio, which is under development for investor Mirova. This portfolio includes four solar projects expected to commence operations by next year, and across Greece, JUWI is executing seven PV projects with a total capacity exceeding 400 MW.

Construction in Greece has faced challenges due to archaeological findings at various sites, prompting continuous design modifications. JUWI’s teams have worked to maintain project timelines while adhering to heritage preservation requirements.

In Africa, JUWI is approaching the completion of the Grande Côte Operation PV hybrid project in Senegal, which features a 20.3 MW solar PV plant alongside an 11.12 MW battery energy storage system. Additionally, the company is undertaking three large-scale solar projects in South Africa with a combined capacity of approximately 350 MW.

Wind energy remains JUWI’s largest revenue source in Germany, where the company is building 46 wind turbines across 11 sites, contributing roughly 270 MW of new capacity.

The organization is also developing further renewable energy projects in the US and Italy, following significant solar projects recently commissioned in these regions. In the US, the 186 MW Axial Basin Solar project and the 141 MW Dolores Canyon Solar project in Colorado have been completed, while in Italy, a 41.7 MW solar park in Sardinia, along with another project in Loreo, Rovigo, has been launched, each facing unique construction challenges like historical site discoveries and challenging soil conditions.

JUWI’s ongoing projects leverage more than 30 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, having developed over 3.5 GW of wind power and over 4 GW of solar PV capacity globally.
