Soltec Grabs 238 Megawatt Solar Tracker Order In Mexico

Soltec Grabs 238 Megawatt Solar Tracker Order In Mexico

written by saurabh

Spanish manufacturer of solar trackers Soltec has secured another major order in South America strengthening its position in the rapidly growing market.

Soltec recently announced that it will supply solar trackers for a 238 megawatts solar power project in Mexico. The Don José project is being constructed by Enel Green Power Mexico and is located in San Luis de la Paz, in the country’s North-Central state of Guanajuato.

Enel secured the rights to develop the project following an auction. The company shall supply electricity from the project under a long-term agreement of 15 years and will sell clean certificates for a period of 20 years.

Don José will have an installed capacity of 238 MW and once completed will be able to produce 539 GWh per year, equivalent to the annual energy consumption needs of around 410,000 Mexican households, while avoiding the emission of over 245,000 tonnes of CO2  into the atmosphere.

The solar tracker order is the second by Enel to Soltec in the last few months. Earlier this year, Soltec announced that it started installing trackers at 292 megawatt solar power project in Brazil. The project, also won through competitive auction, is being developed by Enel Green Power Brasil Participações.

Following the completion of Don José and the Brazilian 292 megawatt power project Soltec’s presence in South America would reach at least 688 megawatt.

Soltec Starts Installing Trackers At South America’s Largest Solar Power Project

Soltec Starts Installing Trackers At South America’s Largest Solar Power Project

written by saurabh

Installation of solar trackers on of what will soon become the largest operational solar power project in South America has begun.

Soltec, a Spanish manufacturer of single-axis trackers, has started installing trackers at the Piaui power plant owned by Enel Green Power Brasil Participações. The 292 megawatts solar power project was secured by the subsidiary of Enel through competitive auction.

This is the second large-scale solar power tracker installation taken by Soltec in Brazil. After completion of this project Soltec would have installed trackers at 450 megawatts of projects in the South American country.

Enel started construction of the Piaui solar power project last year. The project is expected to require a total investment of $300 million and generate more than 600 gigawatt-hours electricity annually. The project is expected to be operational by the second half of this year.

Enel already operates an 11 megawatts solar power project in Brazil and is also working on a 254 megawatts project. Together, these three projects will have a combined installed capacity of more than 550 megawatts. Enel has entered long-term agreements for sale of electricity from all these projects.

At present, the largest solar power project operational in South America belongs of Acciona Energia in Chile with installed capacity of 246 megawatts.
