Phoenix Solar AG To Build Photovoltaic Power Plant In France
Phoenix Solar AG has been commissioned by E.ON Climate & Renewables to plan and build a solar power plant with a capacity of 1.5 megawatts in France.
E.ON Climate & Renewables,
headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, is responsible for the E.ON Group's
global renewables and climate protection activities. Following the recent
establishment of Phoenix Solar's French subsidiary, Phoenix Solar SAS, this
project is an important major milestone in entering one of tomorrow's most
important European photovoltaic markets.
Phoenix Solar will install the solar park near Le Lauzet in the
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region on a southern alpine slope at an altitude of
1,000 m. The company will be using crystalline solar modules spread across a
four hectare site to generate some two million kilowatt hours of electricity
annually. This corresponds to the annual demand of about 600 households.
Construction is scheduled to start end of October. The aim is to have the
solar power plant connected to the grid before the end of the year.
"We are very pleased to be building our first megawatt project in France for
E.ON Climate & Renewables. This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our
expertise and our long-standing experience in building solar farms in the
megawatt range also in this market, which is new to Phoenix Solar", said Dr
Andreas Hänel, CEO of Phoenix Solar AG.
