TerniEnergia South Africa has already been selected as the EPC provider for the first phase of the construction of a 9.5MWp PV plant at the Upington airport in the Northern Cape of South Africa. The project is scheduled to connect to the grid by the end of October 2013.

In addition, TerniEnergia South Africa was involved as EPC and operations and maintenance contractors in the preparation of technical and financial offers for the development of seven new plants which have a total capacity of 280MWp.

TerniEnergia has already been active in the South African market prior to the establishment of its South African subsidiary. In July the company began building a 10MW solar power plant in the country.
