Enel Green Power completes 1 MW PV plant in Italy

The Enel Group’s renewables company has built another plant, this time in the Perugia province. The plant is able to generate over one million kWh annually from solar energy alone.

Enel Green Power is continuing to progress in the photovoltaic (PV) sector. As a global leader in developing and operating renewable energy solutions, the company has completed a ground-based PV plant in Deruta, near Perugia. With 3,300 polycrystalline silicon panels installed on agricultural land owned by the University of Perugia, the plant covers a total area of approximately 2.5 hectares.
The PV plant has an installed capacity of one megawatt (MW) and is able to generate over 1.2 million kWh annually, equivalent to the average energy consumption of around 450 households. This will save almost 105 TOE (tonnes of oil equivalent) of fossil fuel a year and prevent around 700 tonnes of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere.
