RWE has now commissioned its 46MWac ground-mounted Morgavel solar photovoltaic farm in Portugal.
The farm is located south of Lisbon in Morgavel, Sines, on an area of 112 hectares.
Approximately 91,000 bifacial solar modules, which allow solar radiation to be absorbed from the front as well as from the rear side of the module, were installed at this site.
The construction works for the solar plant were carried out by Omexom Portugal.
Construção e Manutenção Eletromecânica (CME) was the contractor for the substation and grid connection works.
Katja Wünschel, chief executive of RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, said: “I am very proud that the Morgavel solar farm has been commissioned as our first asset in Portugal.
“It will supply approximately 42,000 Portuguese homes with green electricity and make a substantial contribution towards achieving the local climate targets.
“The farm will further strengthen our already strong renewables footprint on the Iberian Peninsula as well as our global solar portfolio.”
