Renewable energies in Saxony-Anhalt
Saxony-Anhalt is the state of renewable energies. Not only are international companies such as Q-Cells, Sovello and Enercon based here, the state is also a leader in application. Almost every third kilowatt hour now comes from renewable energy. The largest part of this is wind energy, with over 70%.
SOLAR VALLEY – Centre of the photovoltaics industry
Saxony-Anhalt is the heartbeat of the SOLAR VALLEY. No other region in the world has more companies from the photovoltaic industry. With 65 % of the production capacity, Solar Valley is the most popular investment location in Germany.
A fair wind
The most modern wind turbines don’t just turn in Saxony-Anhalt – they’re built here too. In Magdeburg, the German market leader Enercon builds the largest wind power stations in the world.
Biomass
One quarter of power generation from renewable sources in Saxony-Anhalt comes from biomass. Energy plants, wood or waste materials such as straw or manure are the most important source of renewable energy after wind power.
