The Edisun Power Group has connected another 23.4-megawatt solar power plant in Portugal to the grid.

The connection of the plant "Betty" increases the total installed solar generation capacity of Edisun Power to 107.1 megawatts. The additional annual electricity generation is estimated at over 41,000 megawatt hours. More than 46,000 solar modules were installed on an area comparable to 23 football fields.

This corresponds to the average electricity consumption of over 9,000 four-person households in Switzerland, assuming a consumption of 4,500 kilowatt hours per household. The profitability of the new plant is comparable to the Mogadouro plant (49 megawatts). Even without feed-in tariffs, an Edisun Power are expecting an Ebitda margin of over 80 per cent. (mfo)
