The secure and constant provision of power anywhere and at anytime by renewable energies is now made possible thanks to the Combined Power Plant. The Combined Power Plant links and controls 36 wind, solar, biomass and hydropower installations spread throughout Germany. It is just as reliable and powerful as a conventional large-scale power station.

The Combined Renewable Energy Power Plant shows how, through joint control of small and decentralised plants, it is possible to provide reliable electricity in accordance with needs. The Combined Power Plant optimally combines the advantages of various renewable energy sources. Wind turbines and solar modules help generate electricity in accordance with how much wind and sun is available. Biogas and hydropower are used to make up the difference: they are converted into electricity as needed in order to balance out short-term fluctuations, or are temporarily stored. Technically, there is nothing preventing us from 100 per cent provision with renewables.

The Combined Power Plant is an initiative of the companies Enercon GmbH, Schmack Biogas AG and SolarWorld AG, and is supported by many partners from the renewable energy sector.

  • This gonna be costly!this idea needs a lot of financial support. But definitely, it will improve our lives!

  • That's really smart

  • German engineering at its finest! Hopefully we Americans will borrow your good ideas to help fill our shortfalls.

  • This is an ingenious concept. It is sure to usher in a revolution in renewable energy generation.

  • Ethanol and oil from hemp?

    hi captinseperoth...

    that is actually what is happening. In death valley there are several solar concentrated power plants and several more are planned. The same is planned for the sahara (google: desertec) And in germany the spreading of solar panels is just crazy... the amount of panels is almost doubling every year (check the numbers, I'm not hallucinating)... and this is just because we can't build enough to meet the demand.
