MoveOn Energy, the solar farm’s developer , will install a further 45 MW of power on its own behalf and connect that to the grid by summer 2024. It sits on over 500 hectares (1230 acres) of the former Witznitz II open-cast brown coal mine. From that point the solar farm will feature more than 1.1 million modules. Get started here. –

So, it could be more battery storage, or it could be grid upgrades – or it could be fossil fuels, and that would be disappointing indeed. However, the utility says it’s still on track to close all its coal plants by 2030. It only says that the resources “will only run when needed, meaning they’ll have very low emissions.”

Wind and solar have been exhibiting very rapid growth, even as subsidies and support have in general become less generous, and that has been driven mainly by dramatic improvements to their cost-competitiveness, as well as by the removal of barriers such as grid bottlenecks.
