Using its 1MW PV power plant integrated module system, ABB has been awarded a US$30 million design, engineering, erection, civil works and commissioning contract for a 13MW power plant in northern Spain from GA Solar, part of the Gestamp Corp. The preassembled modular eBOP (electrical balance of plant) concept is designed to reduce construction times and installation costs and is claimed to generate around 15% more energy than alternative units.
“This project demonstrates how ABB technologies help to integrate renewable energy into our power networks, safely and efficiently, adding power capacity with minimal environmental impact” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division.
Once connected to the grid, the plant will supply up to 22.6GWh of electric power a year, avoiding the generation of over 11,500 tons of CO2 emissions.
