Acciona Switches On 46 MW Portuguese Solar Plant

Spain’s Acciona has plugged its Portugal solar project into the grid, announcing this week that the new 46-megawatt plant can produce enough electricity to power over 30 million Portuguese homes.One of Spain’s largest construction contractors, Acciona invested €261 million ($367 million) into the photovoltaic plant, which consists of 2,520 solar trackers supporting 262,080 photovoltaic modules. The trackers can follow the sun throughout the day, boosting the output of the solar modules over the output of a stationary system. The project covers 617.8 acres in Amareleja in the south of Portugal, just over the border from Spain.
