Belgium based solar energy developer Enfinity N.V, has announced its partnership with Indian solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company Sterling and Wilson.
The partnership aims at installing 28.6 MW solar photovoltaic power plant in Sanroque, Digos, Davao, Philippines.
Given the fact that PM led ‘Make in India’ initiative has a great impact in providing our nation with an energy efficient lighting resources, Sterling and Wilson has gone one step further by winning this project in the global solar market against big competition and this proves that an Indian Solar EPC can compete globally.
As per the plans, this solar installation project will be constructed under the Department of Energy (DOE) Philippines Solar Power Procurement Program under the Feed-in-Tariff mechanism. The solar power plant capacity is expected to be around 28.6 MW (DC)/24.75 (AC). The output power will be evacuated through a 69 kV substation and overhead transmission line of eight kms to the nearest NGCP substation. Sterling and Wilson will use Hanwha’s Solar One modules of 310 Wp power rating with central inverter solution for this project.
Speaking on the solar power plant to be set up for Enfinity Philippines Renewable Resources Inc, Bikesh Ogra, president, Sterling and Wilson, Electrical and Solar Business said, “The fact that we are one of the only Indian Solar EPC to have already set up solar projects in the International market gives us immense motivation to work harder. With human assets of nearly 3500 technically proficient people working from India and abroad, we possess an inherent strength to execute international Solar projects in an efficient and cost effective manner. We are confident that our superior engineering capabilities, experience and expertise in setting up solar power plants internationally will enable us to deliver Enfinity Philippines Renewable Resources Inc with a solar solution that will exceed predicted plant performance levels.”
According to reports, Sterling and Wilson will deliver the project within six months from the beginning of July 2015.
