RWE builds 24.7 MWp solar farm for KRONOS TITAN in Nordenham
- 24.7 megawatts-peak ground-mounted photovoltaic plant installed on a 20-hectare area at KRONOS TITAN’s Nordenham site.
- More than 38,300 solar modules were installed and commissioned.
- The solar park is expected to generate approximately 22,000 megawatt hours of electricity annually.
- KRONOS purchases the electricity under a long-term PPA covering at least the next 25 years; RWE leases the land and handles investment, planning, construction and operation.
Project details
RWE has built and is operating a ground-mounted photovoltaic plant at the KRONOS TITAN site in Nordenham with a capacity of 24.7 megawatts-peak on a 20-hectare area. The installation comprises more than 38,300 solar modules and is expected to produce roughly 22,000 MWh of electricity per year.
Commercial structure
RWE leases the site land from KRONOS and supplies the generated electricity to KRONOS under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). RWE took responsibility for investment, planning, construction and operation, and integrates its energy-trading capabilities to deliver long-term green power under predictable conditions.
Site impact
KRONOS says the new solar farm will cover a significant share of the Nordenham plant’s electricity demand for at least the next 25 years, supporting the company’s transformation goals. KRONOS’ plant manager described the project as a crucial step toward more sustainable operations.
Provider perspective
RWE highlights the collaboration model in which industrial customers supply land while RWE provides capital and operational expertise, enabling customers to secure long-term, climate-friendly electricity without taking on project delivery responsibilities.
