Europa-Park Ends Collaboration with Mosolf in Photovoltaic Project

Europa-Park has decided to withdraw from the photovoltaic project with Mosolf due to new legal requirements and technical challenges that make the implementation impossible.

New Legal Requirements and Their Impact

New legal regulations mandate that all new buildings must be equipped with photovoltaic systems. This rule also applies to Europa-Park and leads to significant additional costs, as the creditability of PV systems outside the park is not recognized. These financial burdens would have amounted to seven figures.

Technical Challenges in the Project

Another problem was the technical feasibility of a direct power line from Kippenheim to Europa-Park. This difficulty made it impossible to transfer the planned renewable electricity from Mosolf's installations to the park.

Europa-Park's Strategic Shift

Given these challenges, Europa-Park has decided to install photovoltaic systems on its premises. The search for suitable locations within the park is already underway. The goal is to ensure the park is self-sufficient in electricity during the summer months in the long term.

Timeline and Implementation

Europa-Park plans a phased commissioning of the new PV systems starting in mid-2025. This plan is intended to ensure that the park meets its sustainability goals despite ending its cooperation with Mosolf.

Consequences and Future Direction

The planned cooperation with Mosolf will not be realized. The focus is now on the self-installation of photovoltaic systems to supply the park sustainably and independently with energy.

Commitment to Renewable Energy

Despite the challenges, Europa-Park emphasizes its continued commitment to renewable energy. The park aims to make a significant contribution to the use of renewable energy sources and remains determined to pursue its sustainability goals.
