Energy park

This article covers surfaces with energy conversion technologies. For the landscape park in the city of Alzenau, see Energiepark (Alzenau) .

Energy parks are areas for the construction of energy conversion technologies in combined plant systems that primarily use renewable energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy for the decentralized supply of electricity or heat . This definition also includes infrastructure units such as B. Storage units and transfer stations that promote the operation of the park. The plant operation should be perceived spatially and organizationally as belonging together. With the current state of the art, the generation of fuels must also be taken into account for a general definition of energy parks.
