TERNIENERGIA: CONSTRUCTION IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 8 NEW PHOTOVOLTAIC INSTALLATIONS WITH TOTAL CAPACITY EXCEEDING 6 MWp
In addition, works were completed for the construction of the biggest photovoltaic installation in Italy (6 MWp) at the ENEL thermal power plant in Montalto di Castro.
Terni, 07 July 2009 – TerniEnergia, the company operating in the renewable energy sources sector and one of the main system integrators in the photovoltaic sector in Italy, announced completion, in the second quarter of 2009, of works for the construction of 8 photovoltaic installations having total capacity of 6 MWp.
Over the total photovoltaic park, three installations were constructed for third parties turn-key supply (including panels and inverters), exceeding 2 MWp. Two other third-party systems were installed for EDF EN Italia (excluding panels and inverters), amounting to approx. 1.9 MWp.
Works commissioned by ENEL regarding the photovoltaic 6 MWp installation at the Montalto di Castro (Viterbo) thermal power plant were completed as well. In particular, TerniEnergia carried out the executive planning of various stages of construction. The 10 hectare (approx.) installation is the biggest in Italy and the seventh biggest in Europe. The expected production of energy is approx. 7 million kilowatt-hours per year, meeting the requirements of 2.700 households. Moreover, the clean energy generated will prevent the emission of nearly 5 thousand tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year thus providing obvious benefits for the environment.
In addition, TerniEnergia notifies the operability of the third joint venture with EDF EN Italia, the company owned by the EdF Group dedicated to development of renewable energy in our country.
Enerfie Srl, jointly controlled by the two partners, constructed its first 800 MWp installation at Galatone (Lecce). The start of the third joint venture further consolidates the alliance between TerniEnergie and EdF EN Italia that are currently partners in the joint venture T.E.R.N.I. SolarEnergy and Energia Alternativa.
In particular, T.E.R.N.I. SolarEnergy is among the main Italian producers of energy from photovoltaic renewable sources. In the period May 2007 – December 2008, T.E.R.N.I. SolarEnergy constructed 7 big installations in Italy generating approx. 6 MW of total power; these installations are currently and fully operational and five of them meet all the architectural integration requirements.
