Key Takeaways
- JUWI is constructing over 1 GW of renewable energy globally, focusing on solar and wind projects.
- The company is developing seven solar projects in Greece with a combined capacity exceeding 400 MW.
- JUWI has completed projects in the US and Italy while continuing work on various international energy initiatives.
JUWI Achieves Construction Milestone
Renewable energy developer JUWI has reached a key construction landmark, with more than 1 GW of renewable energy capacity being built across various projects worldwide. This milestone coincides with the initiation of solar module installations at the Trifylli solar park in Greece, further contributing to JUWI’s global pipeline of solar and wind projects.
With over 3.5 GW of wind power and more than 4 GW of solar PV capacity developed in the last three decades, JUWI is set to add approximately 1 GW of new renewable energy capacity in the upcoming months. A significant portion of this work is concentrated in Greece, where the company is engaged in seven solar projects totaling over 400 MW. The Trifylli solar park, part of the larger 156-MW Clover photovoltaic portfolio for investor Mirova, is also under development and is expected to be fully operational by next year.
Construction in Greece has been particularly challenging due to the frequent discovery of archaeological remains, necessitating careful planning and design adjustments to avoid delays.
In Senegal, JUWI is nearing completion of the Grande Côte Operation hybrid renewable project for mining company Eramet, which includes a 20.3 MW solar PV plant paired with an 11.12 MW battery energy storage system. Meanwhile, in South Africa, the company is working on four solar projects with a total capacity of around 350 MW.
While JUWI’s international operations are heavily focused on solar energy, wind energy remains its largest revenue source in Germany. Currently, the company is constructing 46 wind turbines with a combined capacity of about 270 MW across 11 locations including Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia.
JUWI has also reported recent project completions in the United States and Italy. In the US, the company successfully commissioned the 186 MW Axial Basin Solar project in Colorado and the 141 MW Dolores Canyon Solar project. In Italy, a 41.7 MW solar park in Sardinia has been connected to the grid despite challenges posed by archaeological findings dating back approximately 6,000 years. Additionally, the Loreo solar park near Venice was completed, where engineers addressed difficult marshland soil conditions.
