In 2025, installations with a combined output of 951 megawatt peak will no longer receive subsidies in Germany. At the same time, the efficiency of solar technology has experienced a strong boost. These two factors combined will motivate plant operators to consider revamping or repowering their installations. Revamping means replacing inefficient components while repowering aims at replacing a large share of power plant components in order to exceed the original capacity.This session is organized by the French-German Office for Energy Transition (DFBEW) and considers the conditions for repowering and revamping in both Germany and France. Attendees will learn which options are available and what the potential ROI can be. The session will also provide an overview of existing legal conditions and obligations. The session will be held in German and French with simultaneous interpretation.
