Portugal leading Europe on “Green” and “Clean” energy
From dawn to sunset, 2,520 solar followers, with 104 photovoltaic panels each, "pursue" and "feed" from the sun that radiates in the town of Amareleja in Alentejo (Moura), to produce "clean" energy through the largest solar complex in the world.
With a total capacity of 46.41 megawatts (MW), the Photovoltaic Solar complex is owned by Spanish company Acciona, a world leader in renewable energy. They have chosen this location due to maximum temperature records reached here in summer.
The quality and quantity of solar radiation in this area, allied to the "availability” of land, led Acciona to "gamble" and invest 261 million euros in a project conceived six years ago by the "visionary" mayor of Moura.
It has now been working for four months, but over the next 25 years this plant will produce 93 giga watts / hour (GWh) of energy per year, an output sufficient to supply 35 thousand homes and save approximately 90 tons of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions.
The factory plant, which during installation employed 220 temporary workers, will create about 15 permanent jobs, mostly in maintenance services.
The project includes a factory for production of photovoltaic panels, also owned by Acciona and running in Moura and should create 100 to 110 permanent jobs.
The factory plant, which has been well publicised throughout the world for being the largest, also has an "educational" interest and is a potential "showcase" of photovoltaic technology, which, despite not being fully mature, is very evolved.
