The plant, which will be owned by Enel Green Power and is to be built in the town of Nola, in the Province of Naples, will be installed on the roofs of commercial and logistics properties, with full integration with the existing architecture. Equipped with flexible amorphous silicon thin-film photovoltaic modules, the plant is expected to operate in 2010.
Once fully operational, it will be capable of producing approximately 33 million kilowatt-hours of power each year, avoiding atmospheric emission of approximately 21 thousand tonnes of CO2 per year.
Francesco Starace, chairman of Enel Green Power, said: “We are very pleased to have reached this agreement with such key organisations as Interporto Campano and Centro Ingrosso Sviluppo Campania. This agreement will enable Enel Green Power to build one of the largest roof-top photovoltaic plants in the world, at a logistics centre of enormous importance to Southern Italy and an example of excellence at the international level.”
Enel Green Power is devoted to development and management of power generation from renewable resources.
