The construction of a new 80 MW solar power plant in Western Macedonia, in the “Akrin” location of the Kozani Regional Unit, in exhausted lignite mines of ΔEH, is starting, which will be added to the organic development of the RES portfolio of PPC Renewables.
The works for the new photovoltaic station “Akrini” have already started and in its construction, high efficiency bifacial photovoltaic panels will be used, on a stable support system.
Given the rich solar potential of the area, the estimated annual output of the station is estimated to reach 127 GWh per year.
With its operation, the new station is expected to prevent CO 2 emissions of the order of 73,500 tons annually.
PPC Renewables is currently building new RES projects in Ptolemaida with a total capacity of 800MW. These include, in addition to the “Akrine” project, the iconic photovoltaic project “PTC Ptolemaida Mine” with a capacity of 550MW, which is one of the largest photovoltaic projects in Europe.
With their completion, the total installed RES capacity (excluding large hydroelectric plants) of the PPC Group will reach 2,300MW.
