Hamburg Sets Aggressive Solar Buildout With 2030–2035 Targets and Public-Roof Mandate

The Senate taps HEnW KommunalEnergie to centralize rollout across public roofs.

Overview

  • The new Photovoltaik-Strategie aims for 500–800 MWp of installed capacity by 2030 and 1–1.5 GWp by 2035.
  • Hamburg’s current base is about 230–234 MWp, underscoring the scale of the required expansion.
  • At least 80% of suitable public-building roofs are to be equipped with solar by 2030 where feasible.
  • The CDU calls the plan inadequate, citing roughly three percent of buildings with PV and proposing competitive leasing of public roofs to private providers.
  • A 884‑module system on the Congress Center Hamburg, spanning about 1,760 m² and generating over 318,000 kWh annually, is showcased as a model alongside options like façade PV, parking canopies and agri‑PV.
