02Strategic insight

“
Strategic insight · AI analysis
<ul Focus on the combination of construction, operation and long-term maintenance, as these components are combined into one contract. Prepare for a high level of complexity where technical integration (BKP) and financial feasibility (grid connection, subsidies) are closely linked. Consider seeking collaboration partners early on with expertise in both large-scale infrastructure and solar park technology. Take into account the role of the Energiekoepel A37 regarding local ownership and participation.
