The Norwegian energy company Statkraft has announced that the Schornhof solar park is delivering power to the Bavarian grid, following its commissioning of 30MW capacity. Located in the municipality of Berg im Gau, Bavaria, the solar park is designed for a total installed capacity of 120MW. The solar park is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021, generating over 110GWh of electricity annually. With the commissioning of the solar park, Statkraft and Anumar have also secured a further 40MW, still under construction, through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). The two companies have now finalized electricity supply contracts of 90MW. Statkraft has announced that it will shortly begin construction of its 519MW Ventos de Santa Eugeniawind project in north-eastern Brazil. Ingolstadt-based Anumar designs, builds and operates solar power facilities in Germany and Chile.

Condat SA has acquired the Italian company Kemno, and will create a 100% subsidiary to be named Condat Italia. Kemno sas di Novati Davide &C, specializes in the production of neat and soluble coolants. Mainly active in the cold heading business, Kemno also offers metal working fluids, maintenance oils and greases, and quenching oils. Condat, based in France, formulates and produces a wide range of lubricants for a diverse range of industries including wire drawing, tunnel boring, forging, glass, machining, heat treatment and industrial maintenance. It is expected that Kemno will benefit from the acquisition as it will be able to expand, whilst supported by an international and stable group. Condat Group will benefit from a strengthening of its diversification strategy in Italy, particularly in the fastener and machining industries.
