What happened
Vattenfall opened the Hommerdingen-Biesdorf hybrid power plant in the Southern Eifel region. This facility combines electricity generation from wind and solar power under a single roof. The concept mirrors operations Vattenfall has successfully run in the Netherlands and Great Britain. The opening was held in the presence of Michael Ebling, Minister for Economic Affairs, Tourism, Energy and Climate of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
