Iberdrola has been awarded a licence by the municipality of Kurtzenhouse in Alsace, France, for the development of a 25MWp floating solar power project. Kurtzenhouse launched a tender for the permit in June 2022.
The plant will be built on the basin of the Bischwiller gravel pit. Iberdrola will carry out construction and operate the facility as well.
The project’s floating solar modules are calculated to cover an area of 13.5ha. This is Iberdrola’s first floating solar power initiative in France.
