Solarpark Boldekow: 80,000 panels for Vodafones Green Future!

Solarpark Boldekow: 80,000 panels for Vodafones Green Future!

In the small community of Boldekow, located in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald, sustainability is very important. On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, a new solar park was put into operation here, which not only includes impressive 80,000 Bifaciale solar panels, but also has a very special mission: it produces its electricity exclusively for Vodafone. This decision will make a significant contribution to the ambitious goals of the telecom giant in the area of renewable energies, and that has been since completed a power purchase agree (PPA) in 2023.

with an area of 46 hectares, which corresponds to about 65 soccer fields, the Boldekow solar park will generate more than 53 gigawatt hours every year. This is intended to save around 20,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually. The construction work for the project lasted two years and partly met with resistance, especially because of the conversion of agricultural areas. Nevertheless, those responsible are optimistic: the solar park will be open for visits after commissioning and thus also accessible to interested visitors.

a step into the green future

The initiative for this solar park comes from the energy company Iberdrola, which also drives other important projects in Germany. The company recently opened a 56 MWP Solar Park in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which underlines progress in the field of renewable energies. According to the Federal Ministry of Economics, renewable energies have been making an important pillar of energy supply in Germany since 1990 and are incessantly increasing investments. For 2024, these are estimated at around 32 billion euros, even if this represents a decline compared to the previous year.

It becomes clear that renewable energies are indispensable in order to achieve the federal government's climate goals. In 2024 they contributed to avoiding around 256 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. It is particularly worth mentioning that the proportion of renewable energies in the final energy consumption for heat and cold is 18.1 percent, which is a slight increase compared to the previous year.

a model for the industry

Vodafone, the large telecommunications company, plans to procure a total of 410 GWH solar power in several countries, including Germany, Portugal and Spain. The Boldekow Solar Park is therefore a small but significant part of its strategy to use 100 percent renewable energies in its companies. Due to the stable and predictable supply of electricity from renewable sources, Vodafone not only shows a good knack for sustainability, but also makes an important contribution to reducing your own CO2 footprint.

The future looks promising, not only for Boldekow, but for all of Germany. The solar park is an impressive proof that the expansion of renewable energies progresses, even if some regions such as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are fighting with approval delays. Nevertheless - hier in Boldekow shows how you can tear around the helm with innovative ideas and a green approach.

Further information about the upcoming tours of the solar park will soon be expected, which makes the project even more attractive for the local population.
