UKA commissions Seelow-Vierlinden wind farm – Brandenburg's first hybrid wind and solar project

We are delighted to announce a major success for the energy transition in Brandenburg: with the commissioning of five new wind turbines in Vierlinden, UKA's first hybrid wind and solar power project in the state is now officially connected to the grid.

What makes this project special?
▶ The Seelow-Vierlinden wind farm will generate electricity for over 26,000 three-person households in the future.
▶ Together with the neighboring Görlsdorf PV plant (25 MWp), a hybrid park is being created that combines wind and solar power in a shared project area. 
▶ The coupling of both forms of energy increases grid and space efficiency, stabilizes feed-in, and makes joint use of the existing grid infrastructure. 

New grid infrastructure for the region 
UKA has built two substations – Neu Werbig and Neu Werbig Süd – and connected them via a four-kilometer-long cable route. Both the wind farm and the PV plant feed into this grid. Other regional projects also benefit from this strong grid connection.

Added value for the environment and communities
Preliminary environmental and species protection studies confirm the environmentally friendly implementation. At the same time, Seelow, Vierlinden, Gusow-Platkow, and Neuhardenberg benefit from a voluntary contribution of 0.2 cents per kWh generated. In addition, Brandenburg's “wind power euro” flows into the municipal coffers.

This project demonstrates how modern hybrid energy parks can strengthen regional supply and efficiently advance the energy transition.
