The Zultenberg 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 5 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing solar energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Energiekontor AG, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2019, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Germany, Zultenberg occupies the #425 position among all operational solar power plants. Its 5 MW capacity represents a 0.07% 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 Zultenberg approximately 33.2 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0033% 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 7,884 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 1,971 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Zultenberg 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 50.0486° latitude and 11.3146° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Jura Solarpark (solar, 27 MW), the Leimershof (solar, 13.8 MW), the Biomass Generator #10 (biomass-fired, 12.9 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.
