EDPR wins CfD for the 4 MW floating solar project in Alqueva

EDP Renewables (EDPR) has been awarded 70 MVA of grid connection capacity at Alqueva in the floating solar auction in Portugal with a CfD (contract for differences) for a period of 15 years.

The grid connection capacity is expected to allow EDPR to install up to 154 MW of renewable capacity including 70 MW of floating solar PV under the above-mentioned CfD, plus 14 MW of solar overcapacity and 70 MW of hybrid wind capacity, both excluded from the CfD.

The project is estimated to be operational in 2025.
