China-based solar modules manufacturer
JA Solar has secured an order to supply solar power projects being
developed by Enel Green Power located in Brazil.
According to media reports,
the Chinese manufacturer will supply 300 megawatts of solar power
modules for installation at Enel Green Power’s projects that the later
secured through competitive auctions in Brazil.
It was not immediately clear at which
project these modules would be installed. Perhaps they would form part
of the largest solar power project in South America. Enel Green Power
Brasil Participações is working on a 292 megawatt solar power project at
Piaui.
The company recently announced
that it will procure single-axis trackers for installation at the power
plant from Soltec. Enel started construction of the Piaui solar power
project last year. The project is expected to require a total investment
of $300 million and generate more than 600 gigawatt-hours electricity
annually. The project is expected to be operational by the second half
of this year.
Enel already operates an 11 megawatt
solar power project in Brazil and is also working on a 254 megawatt
project. Together, these three projects will have a combined installed
capacity of more than 550 megawatts. Enel has entered long-term
agreements for sale of electricity from all these projects.
