Damco Energy, a subsidiary of Copelouzos Group, has been granted an environmental permit to build a 400 MWp solar park in the region of Thessaly. The approval was issued by the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs and concerns a project with an estimated value of EUR 216 million.
The plan envisages the installation of more than 601,000 bifacial photovoltaic panels in the Trikala regional unit across an area of around 2,388 hectares, as well as related interconnection facilities.
The solar farm will connect through an existing overhead transmission line of the National Electricity Transmission System.
China’s Trina Solar has been selected to supply the 665-Wp panels, while inverters will be delivered by Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.
Copelouzos has 488 MW of renewable power plants in operation and 2 2,730 MW of projects under development.
