Since the beginning of 2023, the German government has been promoting the construction of solar systems on peatland that was previously drained for agriculture if it is permanently rewetted. “MoorPower” represents a real gain for natural climate protection, as peatland and paludiculture PV can. A diverse range of bird species has been recorded at a solar park on rewetted peatland in Germany, suggesting that combining energy generation with habitat restoration could benefit biodiversity, the climate and the economy A solar farm on a rewetted peatland is home to more types of bird than. The 'MoorPower' project aims to investigate the general feasibility of photovoltaic systems on peatland areas that will be rewetted at the same time. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is providing a grant sum of seven million euros for a period of three and a half years. It is also investigating whether this concept makes rewetting more attractive for farmers. According to the Peatland Atlas, solar farms ' are among the many.
