EDPR has been awarded with a grid connection in a floating solar auction in Portugal.
The company has secured 70MVA of grid connection capacity at Alqueva for a period of 15 years, which is expected to allow it to install up to 154MW of renewable capacity.
The grid connection capacity is expected to allow EDPR to install up to 154MW of renewable capacity, including 70MW of floating solar PV under the contracts for difference it has been awarded.
It also allows for 14MW of solar overcapacity and 70MW of hybrid wind capacity, both excluded from the CfD.
The project is estimated to be operational in 2025.
This strategy combines the optimisation of grid connection and hybridisation of renewable technologies to promote the acceleration of the energy transition, EDPR said.
