RWE (DE0007037129) continues to expand its solar capacity on former mining land in Germany. In the second construction phase of a solar park along the A44n highway in North Rhine-Westphalia, the group is installing around 171,600 modules on recultivated areas, according to a Börse Global report dated 06/20/2026.

Solar project along the A44n

According to Börse Global, RWE is building the solar park between Bedburg and Jüchen on areas that were previously part of the Garzweiler lignite mining region. The second construction phase alone involves installing about 171,600 solar modules.

The report emphasizes that the company is turning former coal sites into renewable energy locations, underlining its goal of fully decarbonizing its generation portfolio in the coming years. This fits with RWE’s broader strategy to expand wind and solar capacities in Germany and abroad.

Long-term strategy and business model

RWE now positions itself as a leading European renewables player, even though its legacy still includes conventional power plants. The group has committed to phasing out coal and investing heavily in solar, onshore and offshore wind, as well as battery storage.

Projects like the A44n solar park illustrate how the company tries to monetize former mining areas by repurposing them for green power generation. For investors, these assets can provide long-term, relatively stable cash flows backed by power purchase agreements and regulated grid revenues.

What the company sells

RWE generates most of its revenue with electricity and energy-related services, increasingly from renewable sources such as large-scale solar parks, onshore and offshore wind farms, and hydropower. It also operates conventional gas and some remaining coal plants, plus energy trading and supply activities.
