On October 27th, 2011, Grupo T-Solar
Global SA (Madrid, Spain) announced that it has begun construction of
two solar photovoltaic (PV) plants in Peru totaling 44 MW, as well as a
12.3 MW PV plant in India.
The company expects to commission the plant
in the Indian state of Gujarat by the end of 2011, and the two PV plants
in Peru's Arequipa region by June 2012.
T-Solar notes that these plants are in addition to
230 MW of PV plants that the company has under operation and
construction in India, Italy, Peru and Spain.
T-Solar commissions 5 MW PV plant in Rajasthan
T-Solar has already commissioned a 5 MW PV plant
near Jodhupur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The company says that
the plant is the first to be brought online by a Spanish company in
India, and utilizes T-Solar's 5.7 square meter amorphous silicon
thin-film PV modules.
It is also one of the first large PV plants to be
commissioned within the framework of the nation's Jawaharlal Nehru
National Solar Mission (JNNSM).
The plant was developed by T-Solar and Ashtonfield
Renewable Resources, through a joint venture agreement signed in June
2010. This joint venture is also building the 12.3 MW PV plant, which
will be located in the Patan district of Gujarat.
Both projects represent a total investment of USD 54 million.
T-Solar to commission PV plants in 2012
T-Solar notes that in 2010 it was awarded a 20-year contract to supply the government of Peru with 44 MW of PV plants.
T-Solar will supply this capacity through two
plants, which will also use the company's amorphous silicon modules, as
T-Solar's first large-scale projects in the nation. The plants will be
larger than any currently operational PV plants in Latin America.
The two plants will represent an investment of USD
167 million, USD 123 million of which will be financed by the U.S.
Overseas Private Investment Corporation. T-Solar has already secured a
20-year power purchase agreement for the plants with Peru's Ministry of
Energy and Mines.
