Endesa constructing 38 MW plant in Spain: Endesa has started constructing its maiden solar power project in Spanish Municipality of Soria with 38.24 MW capacity. It is executing the project in Soria's Matalebreras through its renewable energy subsidiary Enel Green Power Espana (EGPE). On completion, the facility will generate 72.24 GWh annually which Endesa says is the consumption of the entire Soria for 3 months. To be built for €28 million, the Eugenia Solar Project will generate over 250 jobs during its construction and 7 permanent jobs for operation and maintenance during 30 years of its operations.
Cero picks contractors for 100 MW Greek project: European solar energy developer Cero Generation has selected Ameresco Energy Hellas and EPC company Sunel Group to build its 100 MW solar PV project in Greece's Prosotsani Drama. The Delfini Solar Power Project has a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Axpo, making it one of the 1st solar projects in the country to be developed without government subsidies (see News From Greece: RE Auctions & Solar PPA). Construction will commence in August 2022 and commercial operations are scheduled for Autumn 2023.
