Is called Sarnia and is located in the Canadian area ofOntario thephotovoltaic system largest and most powerful on the planet. The plant had already existed for some time, but recently it has expanded its power, and from the original 20 megawatts it has passed to the current 80 MW.
This project was initially part of the company's development plan First Solar, but it was completed thanks to the invaluable contribution of Enbridge, a company that has invested over $ 300 million to upgrade and expand the plant to its current size.
An intervention - the one carried out by Enbridge - which involved theuse of an area of over 240 hectares and installing 1,3 million solar panels gilded with a thin cadmium telluride film.
“The completion of the largest photovoltaic plant in the world demonstrates the migration of solar photovoltaics towards the utility scale ”- he commented Frank Rose, senior vice president of North American and project development coordinator at First Solar.
But now how much will this plant produce?According to estimates - Sarnia will provide a total of 120 million kWh of electricity every year, which will be enough to satisfy ben's needs 12.800 homes, thus avoiding the issuance of approx 39.000 tons per year of carbon dioxide in the air.
The electricity produced will be sold to the Ontario Power Authority, thanks to an agreement that will last twenty years.
