The solar park planned on the edge of the Pöckinger barracks could one day supply around 1,500 households.
The PV system is scheduled to go into operation in the third quarter of 2025. This year, before the summer holidays, citizens should be able to express their interest in participating.
Pöcking - The photovoltaic partnership is sealed: Pöcking's mayor Rainer Schnitzler and Marc Iori, CFO of the Energisto cooperative from Ottobrunn, signed an urban development contract on Friday.
It contains the key points of future cooperation to realize and operate the planned ground-mounted PV system.
It is to be built on a 4.2 hectare field between the Pöcking-Maising community road and the General Fellgiebel barracks.
According to project developer Energisto, the system is expected to go into operation in the third quarter of 2025, cost around three million euros and be able to supply around 1,500 three- to four-person households with electricity.
This would allow the community to quadruple the share of renewable energies in the town's total electricity consumption.
In 2022 it was 8.3 percent, but it is now likely to be higher.
A key feature of the project is citizen participation.
For this purpose, an energy cooperative is to be founded, which will then act as the builder and operator of the system and thus bring in rent and trade tax income for the community as the property owner.
The community and Energisto should be equally represented in the cooperative, the project partners explained at a press event on Friday.
At least 50 citizens must take part for legal reasons.
“We expect around 150,” said Energisto supervisory board Dr.
Bernhard Thiersch.
And with what amount?
That has not yet been finally decided, but Thiersch named 5,000 euros as a guideline for the minimum amount.
And five to six percent returns that future comrades could expect.
When asked, Mayor Schnitzler said he had already been approached by several interested citizens.
Anyone who lives within 50 kilometers of the location can take part.
You can officially express your interest before the summer holidays this year.
That's the plan.
“A project homepage for registration is in the works,” said Thiersch.
“We will start when we see the green light on the horizon in the approval process.” The preliminary draft of the solar park will be presented to the local council on Thursday.
When it comes to electricity supply, the partners have the following model in mind: A green electricity provider buys the energy from the cooperative and offers Pöckingen citizens (whether they belong to the cooperative or not) a special, low-cost tariff.
This is where the solar park should go: the area next to the barracks near Maising, where the municipality of Pöcking once wanted to build a commercial area.

The mentioned house number 1500 households is based on current electricity consumption, explained Energisto supervisory board Thiersch.
The number will of course decrease “if everything is electrified one day”.
So when significantly more electric cars have to be charged and heat pumps have to be operated with electricity.
The open-space system should be able to generate 4.3 gigawatt hours of electricity per year.
The PV modules are unlikely to stand alone in the landscape.
Grazing with sheep is planned.
“But you first have to find a sheep farmer,” said Christian Hörndl.
The SPD local council is a member of the climate dialogue working group - like Jan Linnemann (PWG), Stefan Fischer, Margarete Kaspar (both CSU), Sabine Stolicka, Christoph von Gronau (both Greens) and Christian Schnorbusch (FDP).
Along with Mayor Schnitzler, they were all involved in drafting the urban development contract.
The community acquired the area on the edge of the barracks at the end of the 2000s.
It was actually intended for a commercial area, which failed at the time due to protests from the people of Maising.
“In hindsight, it was good that we bought the properties,” said Schnitzler.
