The Juwi Group continues its successful development in Greece: Juwi Hellas has constructed, commissioned and put into commercial operation a 9MW PV plant located in Central Greece, near the town of Karditsa, for ATEN Energy SA.
Construction start for the 9MW project was in July 2018. In less than 4 months Juwi built the ATEN solar park on an area of 14 ha with more than 27,000 solar panels. The plant has been successfully connected to the grid on the 18th October and since then it is producing clean energy. With an expected annual output of 13,500MW/h the plant will reduce the CO2 emissions by approximately 8,800 tons per annum.
As EPC contractor Juwi Hellas has been responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction and Juwi will be also responsible for the operation and maintenance of the plant for the next two years. "This is a landmark for Juwi Hellas," said Takis Sarris, Managing Director of Juwi Hellas, pointing out that: "not only it the biggest plant that Juwi has ever built in Greece, but it is a point of attraction for investors, utilities and universities since it is the first of its kind in Greece". The plant has been certified according to IEC 62446- 1:2016 by TUV Austria.
