Hamburg – Solar Infrastructure Holding S.à.r.l. has acquired a solar park constructed by WIRSOL Solar AG on a former military airfield in Luckau, in the Federal State of Brandenburg. The Luckau solar park with total nominal capacity of around 21 megawatts peak (MWp) has been connected to the grid since the end of 2011 and was officially opened on 11 January 2012.
