Solar energy in the region

The Verband Region Stuttgart has the legal mandate to designate "areas for sites of regionally significant ground-mounted photovoltaic systems" covering at least 0.2 percent of the region's area and also to open up the regional green corridors so that ground-mounted photovoltaic systems can also be installed there.

Current procedure for the partial update of the regional plan for the Stuttgart region to define reserved areas and open up the regional green corridors for open-space photovoltaic systems

Participation in the second public disclosure

Based on the participation procedure in 2024 and the comments received, changes have been made to the draft plan for the partial update. On April 2, 2025, the regional assembly adopted a corresponding (amended) draft for the partial update of the regional plan and opened the second participation procedure for this.

Towns and municipalities, public agencies and the public had the opportunity to comment on the amended parts of the draft plan until July 7, 2025. The changes to the draft plan (text and maps) were marked accordingly.
