Wolf area receives the green light: Hermannstetten solar park is coming!
On September 17, 2025, the statutory resolution for the development plan with integrated green space in the special area “Solar Park Hermannstetten” was announced. Loud wolfsegg.de The area of application of the development plan covers an area of 23,594 m². The plan provides extensive information on contour lines, roads, paths as well as agricultural land and residential development.
The planned uses in the solar park are diverse, including arable land (A11, 2 WP), intensive grassland (G11, 3 WP) and special plant areas such as low-growing areas and herbaceous meadows (K11, 4 WP) as well as red dogwood (B116, 7 WP). In addition, infrastructural measures such as a 20 kV overhead line with a protection area on both sides and a greenway (V332, 3 WP) are also planned. Project processing is in the hands of Blank & Partner MBB landscape architects.
Relevance of solar parks
The growing need for renewable energies is underpinned by the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), which aims to generate 80% of gross electricity consumption from renewable energies by 2030. This has led to an increasing number of large-scale photovoltaic systems being set up, i.e. solar parks. Loud legalanwaelteszk.de It is crucial to find suitable locations for these facilities, as they are often found in commercial, industrial and special areas.
The Building Use Ordinance does not contain any specific regulations for renewable energies, but the permissibility of solar parks is based on general criteria. As a rule, solar parks are not considered to be a significant nuisance and do not cause any significant emissions, which makes them possible to build in areas where other commercial operations would be prohibited. Nevertheless, there are conflicting situations that must be taken into account when implementing solar park projects, such as the requirement for consideration in accordance with Section 15 Paragraph 1 Sentence 2 of the BauNVO.
Umweltauswirkungen und Strategie
The work of AGEE-Stat, which annually produces an official assessment of the use of renewable energies in Germany, proves the economic effects and emissions avoidance achieved through renewable energies. The results are published in the background paper “Renewable Energies in Germany” and illustrate the progress in the areas of electricity, heat and transport. These strategic approaches are also important for the future of the solar park in Hermannstetten according to Umweltbundesamt.de.
Finally, it should be mentioned that the basic geodata for the development plan comes from the Bavarian Surveying Administration and the contact information for further inquiries regarding project processing is as follows: Blank & Partner MBB Landschaftsarchitekten, Marktplatz 1, 92536 Pfreimd, telephone: 09606 / 91 54 47, email: info@blank-landschaft.de.
