"German business daily Handelsblatt reports that power company EnBW is currently building a 500 MW solar panel park
in Brandenburg, 30 km east of Berlin. It reported that it will be able
to provide power for 130,000 households.
... (that) “will cover an area of 400 hectares. This corresponds to around 550 soccer fields.”
EnBW
says that the project “will operate without any subsidies” when
finished and that it demonstrates that projects of this scale make
sense. According to EnBW manager Dirk Güsewell: “Solar energy has become
economical.” "
... Since 2015 the price of 1 kilowatt-hour of solar power has fallen from 9 cents to just over 4 cents, according to the Handelsblatt. Market experts expect electricity prices to stabilize at around five cents per kilowatt hour over the long term.
... Concerning where all the power will come from during windless, cloudy periods in the dead of winter, no details are given."
