Etrion connects first half of 9.5 MW Aomori solar PV project in Japan

Etrion reference solar PV plant

Etrion Corporation (Geneva, Switzerland), an independent solar power producer (IPP), on February 8^th, 2017 announced that the first two sites of the Aomori solar photovoltaic (PV) project totaling 5.3 MW have been connected to the grid and will start recognizing revenues following testing by the end of February 2017.

These first two sites, built by Hitachi High-Technologies, were completed on time and on budget. Aomori is a 9.5 MW utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power project with four sites in the Aomori prefecture of Japan.

The remaining two sites under construction are expected to be fully operational by the third quarter of 2017 as originally planned.

Each Aomori site has a twenty-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Tohoku Electric Power utility and will receive ¥36 per kilowatt-hour of solar power produced (approximately USD 0.35 per kWh).

Once fully operational, the Aomori solar PV project is expected to produce approximately 10.7 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of solar power.
