Solar energy provider Trina Solar – in collaboration with China Energy International Group and China Gezhouba Group – will install the 283 MW Mooi Plaats solar power plant located in Northern Cape, South Africa.
Trina Solar will provide modules for the power plant, which will utilize energy generated by 416,325 panels from the NEG21C.20 Vertex N series and display efficiency levels of up to 23.2%.
“We are proud to partner with China Energy International Group and China Gezhouba Group to bring this groundbreaking project to fruition,” President, Global Sales & Marketing at Trina Solar Bao Yang said.
The power generated from the project will connect to the Koruson substation via a 132 kV transmission line, with a project duration of 22 months.
With financing from renewable energy company EDF Renewables and local financial institutions, the project is poised to become the largest single PV power plant in South Africa.
