European Energy commissions 103 MW solar PV project near Foggia

European Energy has commissioned the largest photovoltaic park ever built in Italy. The solar farm is based in Apulia, near Foggia.

The plant has a total capacity of 103 MW. It is 1,500,000 sq. meters big, which is equivalent to 200 football pitches, and will produce 150,000,000 kWh of green energy per year – enough to cover the electricity consumption of a city with 200,000 inhabitants. The capacity of the project makes it the 17th largest in the world with a single connection point.

The energy plant will save more than 80,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
