Italian energy firm places 30MW order with Suntech

Suntech has said that it has signed a two-year deal with Enel.si, a subsidiary of Enel, Italy's largest power company, to supply 30MW of photovoltaic modules, starting in late 2008. Suntech said that this was part of a strong pipeline of orders building for 2009, across all major demand regions.

"Suntech has an excellent reputation for delivering premium quality, high power output solar modules and we are pleased to enter this partnership with them," commented Riccardo Felicioli, Enel.si Managing Director. "Renewable energy solutions will no doubt play an increasingly important role in the total energy mix, and Enel.si is committed to supporting broader adoption of these technologies."

"With its substantial solar irradiation, relatively high cost of grid electricity, and favorable solar subsidies, Italy is set to embrace solar as part of its renewable energy portfolio, commented Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's Chairman and CEO.
