Opdenergy has hired Eiffage Energía to build its Montesol photovoltaic solar plant, which will have 50-megawatt capacity and will occupy an area of 112 hectares (276 acres). It will be located in the municipality of Cañada Vellida, in Teruel, Spain.
It is estimated that the construction work on this plant will be completed in the last quarter of 2020.
Eiffage Energía will be responsible for executing the civil works, mechanical and electrical assembly, SCADA, and monitoring. The project also includes the construction of a substation and an evacuation line.
This plant will generate more than 90 gigawatt hours of green energy each year, which is approximately equivalent to the annual consumption of around 25,000 homes in Spain and will reduce carbon emissions by 39,000 tons, according to the emission factors published by the Spanish Office for Climate Change (OECC). In addition, it will have 135,128 PV modules as well as eight 5.2 MWA and two 2.6 MWA transforme
