Boralex, a Canadian electricity producer whose
core business is the development and operation of power stations that generate renewable energy, and Q-Cells, a world leader in the photovoltaic industry, also announced that they have started building a solar energy park in southern France. Te Avignonet-Lauragais solar park is scheduled
to start operating in May 2011, with the electricity generated adding up to 4.5MW to Boralex’s asset portfolio. Under a turnkey agreement, the engineers of the Q-Cells French subsidiary are responsible for the engineering, construction and maintenance of the facility. Equipped with Q-Cells photovoltaic panels and cells, this first solar park developed by the Boralex team will be located on land adjacent to the Avignonet- Lauragais wind farm, creating the first mixed solar and wind energy power generation site in France.
Japan’s solar option In Japan, Kyocera has signed an agreement with Tohoku Electric Power to supply 3MW of its multicrystalline silicon solar modules. Te modules will be installed in the Sendai and
Hachinohe plants, currently being constructed by Tohoku Electric Power. Te Sendai solar power plant in Shichigahama,
Miyagi prefecture, with a capacity of 2MW will generate 2100MWh of electricity, which is sufficient to power 600 homes. Te 1.5MW Hachinohe solar power plant being
constructed in Hachinohe, Aomori prefecture, will have 1MW of capacity installed by Kyocera and will generate 1600MWh of electricity to power 500 homes. Te construction for both plants is slated to be completed by January 2012. ●
