World record: BVB and RWE complete the most powerful PV system | OneFootball

By the beginning of 2026, a battery storage facility with a capacity of 3.7 megawatt hours will also have been built. Once it has been connected to the new PV system, climate-friendly electricity can also be used when the sun is not shining.

In April 2024, RWE and BVB installed a new PV system comprising around 200 solar modules on the roof of the BVB-Fan World building, located next to the stadium. In summer 2024, RWE and Borussia Dortmund agreed to enter into a six-year partnership. As a ‘premium and sustainability partner’, RWE will support the renowned club in its ambitious decarbonization plans.

Borussia Dortmund’s CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke, emphasizes: “SIGNAL IDUNA PARK symbolizes our integrated efforts to ensure Borussia Dortmund’s future viability. We are delighted that our home can now be associated with a record-breaking flagship project for climate protection.

BVB Managing Director Carsten Cramer adds: “Together with RWE, we have achieved a real milestone in our sustainability partnership – with targeted regional impact and global appeal. This project is a key component of our decarbonization strategy and is the ideal contribution to our commitment and our goal of working with our partners to continuously improve and take on more responsibility.”

Markus Krebber, CEO of RWE AG, emphasises: “We are proud to have set a new record with BVB, one of Germany’s most internationally renowned football clubs. Together, we have installed the world’s most powerful solar system on the roof of Germany’s largest stadium. This is a powerful statement in favour of efficient climate protection and is the result of the work of two teams that are perfectly aligned in their commitment to sustainability.”
