The new 42MW facility, put in place by the Sun Investment Group, is cutting carbon emissions each day by 2.5 tonnes.
Sun Investment Group’s clean energy facility in Gralewo, Poland is the first of the 43 facilities the firm aims to construct by mid-2019. The solar energy generated in 24 hours will be able to power a television for six hours a day for 27 years.
The Lithuanian investment management company worked alongside energy group E-Energija and solar construction company I+D Energias to build the 42MW plant in Poland.
Deividas Varabauskas, CEO and Managing Partner of Sun Investment Group, commented: “Gralewo plant with its expected production of over 1,000MWh will also save almost 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year that would be otherwise emitted to the atmosphere during the production of the same amount of energy using fossil fuels like hard coal.”
