Conergy building 2-MW solar farm in Greece

(ADPnews) - Jun 21, 2011 - German solar power company Conergy (ETR:CGY) said today it is constructing a 2-MW solar park in the Greek town of Grevena.

Conergy will install 8,856 of its PowerPlus 225P modules on an area of 6 hectares (15 acres). The solar power plant is expected to produce 2,900 MWh of electricity a year, which is enough to satisfy the needs of 645 households and prevent the emission of 2,180 tonnes of CO2. The construction is expected to finish in two months.

The company is responsible for the procurement of components as well as the planning, commissioning and maintenance of the facility.

Conergy said it is continuing to strengthen its position in Greece, where the economic turbulence is leading to increased popularity of safe investments such as solar power.
