With the start-up of Quweira 103 MW Photovoltaic Power Plant in the south of the country, the Jordanian government took a further step in implementing its ambitious renewable energies development plan. Acting as Owner’s Engineer, Fichtner provided assistance to the project.

ACWA Power has won a 300 MW photovoltaics tender with a record tariff of the equivalent of 2.34 US cents/kWh. Fichtner is assisting the ministry responsible in implementing the country’s first PV and wind IPP projects.

Bosnia-Herzegovina’s first wind farm was officially inaugurated on 14 March 2018. Fichtner assisted JP Elektroprivreda HZHB, a state-owned power utility company, with the planning, construction and grid connection of this 50.6 MW wind farm consisting of 22 Siemens turbines.

TenneT has awarded Fichtner, together with two other companies, with contracts for the maintenance of onshore and offshore converter station components and AC power transmission systems in the North Sea.

Two of the world's largest PV IPP projects in Abu Dhabi (1177MW) and Dubai (800MW) have been recognized by Project Finance International as the "Deal of the Year" in the sectors Renewables and Power. In both projects, Fichtner was Transaction Advisor.

For the first time, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) tested the new main engine of the future European launcher Ariane 6. Fichtner supports DLR with the necessary modifications to its test stand P5.

Fichtner opens a branch office in Mexico City in early 2018. This is our 5th branch office in Latin America.

Energy transition: Together with more than 60 partners, we are working on the C/sells demonstration project to test the system of the future which consists of autonomous cells.
