Germany's degraded peatlands offer up to 268 GW of solar potential

Reported bypv magazine ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Fraunhofer ISE identified 134–268 GW of solar potential on Germany's 334,500 hectares of degraded, drained peatlands, with a new guidance document enabling peatland PV projects to support emissions reductions while creating income for farmers and landowners.

Worth noting

The potential is technical; actual deployment depends on policy uptake, site-by-site permitting, and farmer participation.
