The Weimar - Hydrema Solar Power Plant is a key infrastructure asset in Germany's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 1 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing solar energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Germany, Weimar - Hydrema Solar Power Plant occupies the #731 position among all operational solar power plants. Its 1 MW capacity represents a 0.01% share of Germany's total installed solar generating capacity, which currently stands at 6,846 MW. The largest operational solar installation in Germany is the Meuro Solar Power Plant with an output of 166 MW, making the Weimar - Hydrema Solar Power Plant approximately 166.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0007% of Germany's aggregate generation capacity of 151,803 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of solar power plants (modeled at 18% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 1,577 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Germany consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 394 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Weimar - Hydrema Solar Power Plant contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Germany advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 50.9940° latitude and 11.3403° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Hohenwarte (hydroelectric, 377.6 MW), the Heizkraftwerk Jena-Süd (gas-fired, 197 MW), the HKW Jena (gas-fired, 182 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Germany.
