SunRay Renewable Energy and SunPower Corp. announced that the 24-megawatt (MW) Montalto di Castro solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant, the largest in Italy, has been completed and is transmitting electricity to Italy's national electric grid. The two companies announced the completion of the system at an interactive conference on renewable sources, Re-Event, being held this week in Rome.
The plant, located in Italy's Viterbro province, Lazio, was connected to the grid on November 30, several weeks ahead of schedule. This project is the first phase of a planned 85-MW development that is expected to be fully operational in 2010.
Construction of the plant was completed in eight months and required more than 250 workers and the services of 10 skilled local companies employed for civil, mechanical and electrical services. SunRay and SunPower jointly managed the construction of the plant.
A dedicated 150-MW substation was designed and constructed by Terna SpA. A visitor center is also planned for the site and it is expected to will provide education on solar power and other renewable energy sources.
