ENERRAY TO BUILD BRAZIL'S LARGEST SOLAR PLANT
Built in the state of Bahia, the 254 MWp plant will be one of the worlds largest
Bologna, Italy - April 21, 2016: Enerray, owned by Seci Energia (Gruppo Industriale Maccaferri), one of Europes most active solar developers, is set to begin construction of Brazils largest solar installation, located in the city of Ituverava.
The 254 MWp solar plant, one of the largest in the world, will be located in the State of Bahia, in northeastern Brazil. The estimated annual energy production will be approximately 500 GWh and construction will be completed by the end of 2017. The photovoltaic panels will feature single-axis trackers to allow the modules to change positions during the day depending on the position of the sun to maximize output.
This is the largest solar power plant built by Enel Green Power and will help Brazil meet its rapidly growing electricity demand.
"We believe that Brazil, a country in which we have been working for more than 50 years, represents a great opportunity for more renewable power generation in the near future. In fact, it is a market that shows a very significant growth potential considering both mid and long range needs. Enerray intends to become a benchmark leader in this country in the renewable power sector. Building the largest solar plant in the country is an achievement that makes us very proud and shows how important Brazil is for our company," said Michele Scandellari, Enerrays CEO.
