Trina Solar has announced that it has delivered 123 MW of PV modules to a solar project in Ukraine, developed by DTEK, the largest private energy company in the country.
Located near Nikopol, Dnepropetrovsk Oblast in central Ukraine, the project has a planned generation capacity of 246 MW and will be capable of producing 280 GWh of energy annually. Once completed, it will become the largest PV power facility locally and the largest single PV power station in Europe.
Contracted to China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC), construction is expected to be completed in early 2019, with the power plant to be connected to the grid by March 2019. Once operational, the plant will provide an electricity supply to power 100,000 households in Ukraine and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 300,000 tons annually.
