A new solar power plant, with an installed capacity of 80 MW, at the location "Akrini" of the Kozani Regional Unit, in exhausted lignite mines of PPC, is added to the organic development of the renewable energy portfolio of PPC Renewables.
Work on the new station "Akrini" has already begun, and its construction will use high-efficiency bifacial photovoltaic panels on a fixed support system. Given the rich solar potential of the region, the estimated annual production of the station is estimated to be 127 GWh per year. Once operational, the new plant is expected to prevent CO2 emissions of 73,500 metric tons annually.
PPC Renewables is currently constructing new RES projects in Ptolemaida with a total capacity of 800 MW. In addition to the "Akrini" project, these include the flagship 550 MW project "PPC Ptolemaida Mine," which is one of the largest photovoltaic projects in Europe.
Upon completion, the total installed RES capacity (excluding large hydroelectric power plants) of the PPC Group will reach 2,300 MW.
