OMV AG and Verbund AG has started the construction of a solar project with 11.4MWp capacity on a 13.3-hectare (133,200 m²) compound owned by OMV, located in Schoenkirchen-Reyersdorf, Lower Austria.
The east-west facing solar park will use 34,600 PV modules to produce around 10.96 GWh of solar power, corresponding to the annual electricity consumption of some 3,400 households and saving around 8,000 metric tons of CO2. Start-up is planned for the end of November 2020.
The final phase of construction will see another 10,400 PV modules added to the plant. This will increase the total capacity to 14.85 MWp, generating around 14.25 GWh. This is enough to meet the annual power demand of 4,400 households and will save an additional 2,400 metric tons of CO2 per year.
