19 New PV Plants for Greece With A Total Capacity of 42MW
The new photovoltaic plants launched by EGP boast a total installed capacity of 42 MW. A further 15 MW has been put into service by ESSE, the equal joint venture between EGP and Sharp. Therefore, EGP total installed capacity in Greece is reaching approximately 290 MW.
The first four plants"”"Florina Yatsovo", "Helios", "Axiochori" and "Vavdos""”are located in Macedonia. "Florina Yatsovo" has an installed capacity of 1.5 MW and is able to generate around 2 million kWh per year. "Helios", located on the edge of central Macedonia, has an installed capacity of 6 MW and is able to generate more than 8 million kWh per year. "Axiochori", with an installed capacity of 6.25 MW, will be able to generate about 8 million kWh per year. The final plant, "Vavdos", has an installed capacity of 1.37 MW and an estimated output of around 2 million kWh per year.
Four plants have also been added in the region of Thrace: "Advira-Pezoula", which has an installed capacity of 2.8 MW and is able to generate around 3.6 million kWh per year; "Karidia", with an installed capacity of 3.3 MW and that will be able to generate about 4 million kWh per year; "Pezouliotika", with an installed capacity of 3.5 MW and an estimated output of around 4.5 million kWh per year; and "Herodasos" with an installed capacity of 4 MW and that will be able to generate about 5 million kWh per year.
Two of the plants are located in southern Greece: "Farsala III", which, with an installed capacity of 0.92 MW, will be able to generate more than 1 million kWh per year, and "Ekta", with an installed capacity of 2 MW and an estimated output of about 2.5 million kWh per year.
The last three plants are located in Thessaly (two) and Elide (one). The first two, "Gephyria I" and "Gephyria II" boast a combined installed capacity of 3.54 MW and will be able to generate about 5 million kWh. The third one, "Stroussi", with an installed capacity of 6.43 MW, is expected to generate more than 9 million kWh each year.
ESSE has also launched six new PV plants for a total installed capacity exceeding 15 MW. ESSE is a 50/50 joint venture between EGP and Sharp for the development of photovoltaic power in the Mediterranean region.
The first, "Zitza", located in Epirus, has an installed capacity of 2 MW and is able to generate more than 2.5 million kWh each year. The second, "Kalenta", in Thrace, consists of four projects (Iasmos, Polysitos I and II, Sounio) with an installed capacity of 9.8 MW and that will be able to generate about 13 million kWh per year. Finally "Kryoneri", located in western Macedonia, has an installed capacity of 3.5 MW and will be able to generate around 5 million kWh per year once fully up and running.
These plants bring the solar power capacity of the Italian-Japanese JV to around 38 MW to date.
