JUWI Crosses One GW Under Construction Worldwide

JUWI has surpassed one gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy capacity under construction worldwide, with solar module installation starting at the Trifylli solar park in Greece. The milestone adds to a global pipeline of solar and wind projects and follows three decades during which the developer delivered three point five GW of wind and four GW of solar PV. The company said it expects to add around one GW of new capacity over the coming months.

In Greece JUWI is developing seven solar projects with a combined capacity exceeding 400 MW, led by the Trifylli site which forms part of the 156 MW Clover photovoltaic portfolio being built for investor Mirova. The four-project portfolio is expected to be fully commissioned by next year and planning has required adjustments to minimise delays amid frequent archaeological discoveries during site work. The company noted that such discoveries have required design changes.

In Senegal the developer is nearing completion of the Grande Côte Operation hybrid renewable project for mining company Eramet, which comprises a 20.3 MW solar PV plant integrated with an 11.12 MW battery energy storage system. Construction continues on four solar projects in South Africa with a combined capacity of around 350 MW. While international operations concentrate primarily on solar energy, wind remains the largest revenue contributor in Germany where JUWI is erecting 46 wind turbines totalling around 270 MW across 11 sites.

The company also highlighted recent completions in the United States and Italy, including the 186 MW Axial Basin Solar project in Colorado and the 141 MW Dolores Canyon Solar project. In Italy JUWI connected a 41.7 MW solar park in Sardinia to the grid after construction teams encountered archaeological finds believed to date back around 6,000 years, and it completed the Loreo solar park near Venice where engineers overcame marshland soil challenges. The firm continues to apply lessons from such projects to manage complex site conditions.
