Awarded through Germany’s EEG tenders, Klevenow supported around 40 jobs during construction and was completed in under six months. The plant comprises approximately 42,300 solar panels. Two more solar plants and a BESS project are set to enter construction before the year is out.
With expected annual production of 28,700 MWh, Klevenow will help avoid around 9,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year and support commercial and industrial energy demand in the nearby Pomeranian Triangle.
“Bringing Klevenow into operation is an important milestone for Zelestra in Germany” said Mathias Kuenicke, CEO Germany at Zelestra. “It demonstrates our ability to move quickly from development into construction and operations, while building a strong platform for further growth. With two additional solar projects and our first German BESS project expected to start construction in the coming months, we are on track to grow our capacity in the country to more than 200 MW. I would like to thank the entire team for delivering this project on schedule and helping establish Zelestra’s operational presence in Germany.”
The project forms part of Zelestra’s accelerated growth plan in Germany, following the acquisition of East Energy in October 2024. The company has moved quickly from project development into construction and operations, with a German pipeline now exceeding 2 GW of solar, hybrid, wind and BESS projects.
Zelestra has 70 employees in Germany, with offices in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Rostock, and a senior leadership team with decades of experience delivering clean energy projects in the country.
