The power of solar is only
as strong as the team behind it.
How can we generate electricity in a way that’s
reliable, cost-effective and environmentally
sustainable? Answering this question is the challenge
of our time. As the leading global pure-play solar
downstream company with focus on project business
with development capital, engineering, procurement
and construction as well as operation and
maintenance services and global distribution
businesses – Conergy will lead you to success.
As a solar pioneer, our focus has been on the sun right
from the start. Every day the sun provides us with more
energy than we can use – energy that is clean and
free. And it will continue to do so for millions of years.
We are delighted the world is embracing a new
direction in energy generation moving away from
nuclear and fossil fuels, in line with the Conergy
vision. Drawing on our extensive expertise, we are a
team with a pioneering spirit dedicated to engineering
solar solutions. This motivates us every day to
develop high performance solar systems that improve
our customer’s bottom line. Not just with interesting
innovations but also with a forward thinking mind-set
that guides them every step of the way. Working
together we’ll transform solar power into the
cornerstone of tomorrow’s power supply.
Enjoy! Your Conergy Team.

Conergy has been selected by RWE Group to build a 37 MW solar farm
“It is the first time that utility company RWE has invested in British solar. It then plans to sell the solar farm after it is completed, which is expected to be towards the end of the summer, to Foresight Solar Fund Limited.”
“It will be funded by RWE Supply & Trading and is expected to save 16,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.”
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-27129065
“The 37-megawatt Kencot Hill Solar Farm, on a disused airfield in Oxfordshire, England, will be one of the country’s largest, providing about 10,000 households with electricity, Essen-based RWE said today in a statement.”
“The park is scheduled to start operating in late summer. RWE, providing financial and technical support, agreed to sell the facility to Foresight Solar Fund Limited (FSFL) once constructed, it said.”
