The German renewables developer JUWI says it is currently building wind and solar projects with a combined capacity of around 1,000 megawatts on construction sites around the world. The company reached the one-gigawatt mark with the start of module assembly at the Trifylli solar park in northern Greece.
In total, JUWI is installing roughly 1.3 million solar modules across twelve photovoltaic projects and erecting 46 wind turbines at eleven sites. “This once again demonstrates our ability to plan and deliver demanding projects successfully. Our construction activities are running at full speed,” said chief executive Jost Backhaus. The Trifylli park is part of the 156-megawatt “Clover” cluster being built for investor Mirova; JUWI is developing more than 400 megawatts of solar across seven Greek sites, where crews repeatedly encounter archaeological finds that force flexible design changes.
The company is also active in Africa. A 20.3-megawatt solar plant with an 11.12-megawatt battery is nearing completion in Senegal for mining group Eramet, while four projects totalling around 350 megawatts are under construction in South Africa. In Germany, onshore wind remains the group’s main revenue driver, with 46 turbines and around 270 megawatts being built across five federal states.
JUWI, part of Mannheim-based utility MVV Energie, has planned and built more than 3,500 megawatts of wind and over 4,000 megawatts of solar in its 30-year history. Planning for further projects is also under way in the United States and Italy. For the Baltic region, JUWI’s pace illustrates how established European developers are spreading hybrid wind, solar and storage expertise across multiple markets at once.
