"Rossgraben" and "Fuchsloch" - these are the names of the two parts of the latest and so far largest solar project of N-ERGIE Aktiengesellschaft in Martinsheim (district of Kitzingen). On August 23, 2022, Rainer Kleedörfer, Head of Corporate Development and authorized representative of N-ERGIE, Norman Villnow, Managing Director of N-ERGIE Regenerativ GmbH and Rainer Ott, First Mayor of Martinsheim officially commissioned the plants with a total output of around 29 megawatts peak (MWp).
"The expansion of renewable energies is enormously important for a successful energy transition. However, a prerequisite for this is that new plants can also feed into the power grid, as is the case with the plants officially commissioned here today," says Rainer Kleedörfer. "That's why we continue to continuously and consistently expand our renewable energy generation capacity in the region. In doing so, as a municipal company, we are a reliable partner to the municipalities and local citizens*," says Norman Villnow.
"Especially in the current situation, it is important to rely on our own plants for generating electricity from renewable energies. In the municipality of Martinsheim, we are pioneers, because we already provide around five percent of the arable land for photovoltaics," says Rainer Ott, First Mayor of Martinsheim.
Solar power for around 7,700 households
The two solar parks, which are about two kilometers apart, were built by Energietechnik Link GmbH, based in Martinsheim, on behalf of N-ERGIE. Together, they generate 31,030,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. This corresponds to the demand of around 7,700 households.
The PV park "Fuchsloch" is located near the rest area of the same name on the A7 near Martinsheim and has an output of around 19 MWp. Around 42,000 solar modules are used there on an area of around 20 hectares.
The "Rossgraben" PV park is located at the Marktbreit freeway exit near the district of Enheim on an area of 17 hectares. The park comprises around 22,000 solar modules and has an output of around 10 MWp. In order to protect existing ground monuments, eight hectares were not built over there in coordination with the State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments. This area serves as a compensation area for both parks. To preserve a ground monument, the module tables were not rammed on three of the total ten hectares of construction area, but were elevated on the surface on concrete foundations.
