GES has completed the construction of two photovoltaic plants in Mexico and Spain for Alter Enersun with a total installed capacity of 88 MWp. The company has been responsible for the complete EPC in both projects including the detailed engineering, the logistics of the materials, as well as the construction and commissioning of the plants.
The Lázaro Cárdenas Photovoltaic Plant is located in the Yucatan Peninsula and has a capacity of 38 MWp. It will produce 60,400 kW hour per year, which supposes the annual consumption of 17,321 homes. The plant, in production since this summer, occupies an area of 53 ha and has 114,160 solar panels.
GES has commissioned the plant with complete EPC, both the civil works, and the electrical evacuation infrastructure, including the 34Kv to 115 Kv lift substation, a 115 Kv line of 1.37 km in length and the adaptation works of a new interconnection bay in the CFE substation.
Alter Enersun has announced the expansion of the plant and a project to install batteries that allow a better use of the energy generated in the plant. The company will have GES again for the execution of the project. It is expected that the works will begin in the first months of next year.
The Huelva 2020 Photovoltaic Plant is located in Gibraleón (Huelva), has a capacity of 49.9 MWp and will produce 101,317 kW hour per year, which means the consumption of 29,056 homes. The last works of the electromechanical assembly and the substation have been completed and it is expected that in the next days the energy tests will begin. The plant is expected to enter production in early December and it is estimated that it will reduce CO2 emissions by 100 million tons per year. Huelva 2020 occupies an area of 80 Ha and 133,056 solar panels have been installed there.
Alter Enersun already has permits for an extension of another 50 MW, which will be built during 2020. GES will be responsible for the engineering, supply and construction of the plant.
