Gottesgabe solar park
EnBW's Gottesgabe solar park was built in 2021 and is one of the largest solar parks in Germany with an area of 122 hectares (133 hectares in total). The plant is located in Brandenburg not far from the Oderbruch. It was planned as a PPA project without EEG funding. An old tarmac road divides the site into a western and eastern section. Trees and bushes grow along this road. Several gravel paths have been laid within the Gottesgabe solar park. The transformers are also located along these paths and are a good 200 metres apart. Stepping stone biotopes and various types of hedges have been created around the solar park, English oaks and fruit trees have been planted and grassland has been developed within the site through extensive cultivation.

Natural environment and special features
Oder Valley
The Gottesgabe solar park is located in eastern Brandenburg, around 15 kilometres from the German-Polish border. It is surrounded by farmland. The small village of Gottesgabe, which gives the park its name, is located directly to the south. On the western side of the site is a main road, an avenue lined with lime trees. The border area between the road and the solar park is densely planted with bushes and trees. To the north-west, the Batzlower Mühlenfließ runs a few hundred metres along the outer fence of the plant. A transformer station is also located there. To the north, an approximately one kilometre long fringe of trees and bushes borders the site. About one kilometre to the south and west is a larger contiguous mixed forest. The Friedländer Strom flows to the east of the site and there are two large lakes.
The solar park is located on flat land at nine metres above sea level.
