Ingeteam has secured the supply and installation contract for the Mula solar project. Located in the south-east of the municipality of Mula in the region of Murcia, the photovoltaic power plant will have an installed capacity of 500 MWp, which will make it the largest PV plant in Europe.

Delivery has already started on the total of 238 central PV inverters to be supplied by Ingeteam, all with 1500 Vdc technology. The supply contract also covers the Inverter Station, which comprises all the low and medium voltage equipment required (LV/MV transformer, MV switchgear, LV switchboard and auxiliary services transformer), connected in the field to the PV inverters.

Apart from the supply of equipment, Ingeteam is to unload, position and connect the 74 inverter stations, in addition to the commissioning and electromechanical installation work.

It is estimated that the plant will be fully operational by the end of 2019. Covering a surface area of almost 1,000 hectares, similar to around 2,000 football pitches, Mula is projected to produce more than 750 million kWh per year, providing sufficient energy to supply 450,000 consumers.

 It will connect to the power transmission grid in Murcia through the El Palmar substation.
