The power stations will be owned by Energy 21, which specializes in the construction and operation of large-scale solar plants in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The utility’s EPC division, CE Solar, will build and maintain the PV systems, which are scheduled for construction during the first half of 2010.

The installations qualify as part of the Czech Republic’s feed-in tariff program, which is projected to create over 500MW of grid-connected PV power plants through 2011.

The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
