Energiekontor puts Königsfeld solar park into operation and expands own portfolio – PPA cooperation with Currenta ensures sustainable energy supply in the chemical sector

Bremen, 24 September 2025 – Energiekontor AG (“Energiekontor”), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks based in Bremen and listed in the General Standard, has commissioned the Königsfeld solar park, which was recently completed, thus expanding its steadily growing own park portfolio. Power consumer is Currenta GmbH & Co. OHG (“Currenta”), which will continue to provide sustainable energy services based on the PPA agreed with Energiekontor. 

The Königsfeld solar park was built in the district of Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and was recently successfully commissioned. With a total nominal output of around 4.6 megawatt peak, the average expected annual yield of the solar park is around 5.5 million kilowatt hours – enough to supply around 1,700 average households in Germany with renewable electricity and save around 3,800 tonnes of CO₂ per year.

As part of Energiekontor’s own portfolio, the solar park will now contribute to the electricity generation income of the power generation segment in the Group-owned wind and solar parks. It benefits from an EEG feed-in tariff granted by the Federal Network Agency. Moreover, Energiekontor and Currenta have concluded a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the first few years. For Currenta, one of Germany's largest chemical park operators, the PPA is another important component of its own sustainability strategy. The green electricity generated by the solar park will be used specifically to make energy applications at the Chempark sites more sustainable, thereby reducing environmental impact.

The total generation capacity of Energiekontor's own park portfolio thus increases to around 450 megawatts, spread across 36 wind and four solar parks. The solar share is now about 20 percent. Seven further parks with a total generation capacity of around 200 megawatts are currently under construction or in the construction preparation phase, which will increase Energiekontor’s own park portfolio to at least 650 megawatts in the future.

“Following the realisation of the Letschin solar park in the first quarter of 2025, we are continuing to consistently implement the expansion path for our own park portfolio with the commissioning of the Königsfeld solar park. The continuous expansion and diversification of our own electricity generation not only strengthens the resilience and profitability of our business model but also makes an important contribution to the energy transition in Germany. We are particularly pleased to be able to make this contribution thanks to our renewed cooperation with Currenta in southern Germany,” says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG.

“We are delighted to be taking another step forward in our sustainability strategy with Energiekontor AG and the new solar project in Königsfeld,” explains Matthias Gasten, responsible for Energy Trading and Dispatching at Currenta. “The PPA enables us to sustainably supply additional energy services, such as the e-charging infrastructure.”
