Golmayo, Spain: Solarig Breaks Ground on Eight PV Projects in Italy

Solarig Group began construction this month on eight photovoltaic parks in the regions of Puglia and Piedmont in Italy, a country that offers attractive legislation for this type of project.

In the Puglia region, Solarig Group will build 7 parks, 6 of which will be mounted on fixed structures, each with a 0.99 MWp capacity. The seventh, of 0.68 MWp, will use double-axis solar tracking technology. Likewise, Solarig Group is building another 1.5 MWp PV park with fixed structures in the region of Piedmont.

Solarig Group will carry out all phases of development, construction, connection and operation of the projects, through its Italian subsidiaries. After their connection to the grid, which is foreseen for December of 2009, the new operational parks will produce enough energy to be able to supply electricity to more than 2,700 households.

In the next few months Solarig Group will undertake the construction of more than 30 MW in different regions of Italy. These first projects mean the take off of Solarig Group´s international development plan in leading markets of the sector such as Italy, United States, Korea, China, Greece and Bulgaria.

The Group has a long experience in the development, construction, operation and maintenance of photovoltaic parks in Spain, where it has a total installed power of 25 MW.
