The Smarter E Award Winner 2024

Construction management procedures must be carried out for most ground-mounted solar systems in accordance with §29 BauGB. It checks whether a building project meets the goals of regional planning. That is the reason why the stipulations in regional plans must be observed when planning solar ground-mounted systems. It is a challenge for project developers to comply with these regional plans, as there are 120 planning regions across Germany.

What parallels are there between the work of project developers and the small German statehood of the 17th century? Anyone interested in old maps knows that Germany consisted of more than 300 kingdoms back then. Although there was no electricity back then, today's power grid is similarly subdivided, because according to the market master data register, there are 892 electricity grid operators. Unfortunately, this is not so nice for developers of (renewable) energy projects.
