Eco Factor: PV power plant to generate about 70MW of renewable electric power.
SunEdison announced plans to build Europe’s largest photovoltaic power plant in Italy in March this year. Just nine short months after being given the green light, the company has inaugurated the plant, which has been built in a city between Bologna and Venice. The clean energy power plant will generate about 70MW of power, which is enough to power 17,000 homes.
According to the company, the new plant at Rovigo is the largest single solar farm in Europe and will help in reducing carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 40,000 tons – the equivalent of taking 8000 cars off the road.
