Greece to set up largest solar park
2011 January 22
Greece plans to build the world’s largest solar park over depleted coal mines in the northern city of Kozani. Prime Minister George Papandreou announced this in Athens.
Estimated to cost 600 million euros and with a capacity of 200 megawatts generation, the project’s electricity output will be greater than any other photovoltaic park operational in the world so far.
The state-run Public Power Corporation said it would organise an international tender to find a strategic investor for the solar park, which is to be built over 520 hectares of disused company mines.
Papandreou said the project would serve as a model for the development of renewable energy and will boost employment amid a deep economic crisis.
