Güglingen, October 11, 2024 – The Perendale solar park of the solar specialist hep solar recently reached the important milestone of the Commercial Operation Date (COD) and is now feeding solar power into the grid. The buyer of all the electricity produced is the electricity cooperative EnergyUnited. The Perendale solar park is owned by the HEP-Solar USA 2 fund and is therefore part of the HEP-Solar Portfolio 2. These are managed by HEP Kapitalverwaltung AG.
