Voltalia, an international player in renewable energies listed on the Paris
stock exchange, will provide engineering, procurement and turnkey
construction (EPC) services followed by operation and maintenance (O&M)
services to Smartenergy, a Swiss-headquartered renewable energy
player/Edisun Power growing fast in Portugal, for three solar plants with a
total capacity of 134 MW.
The plants will be located in the Lisbon - Margem Sul region. Construction
of the first projects should start in the first half of 2020 and mobilize up
to 1,000 people on the sites and at Voltalia's offices. The plants will be
equipped with high efficiency photovoltaic panels mounted on solar trackers.
Voltalia's scope of services includes construction of the power generation
projects and their transmission facilities (substation and evacuation line)
as well as the operation and maintenance of the facilities for a period of
at least 10 years. The contract will have a total value of around 80 million
euros (EPC and O&M services).
Voltalia is strengthening its leading position as service provider in
Portugal with more than 350 MW of solar projects built and operated. The
company can rely on its Global Solar Hub established in Portugal, active
locally and internationally and on a team of almost 200 people in Porto and
Oliveira de Frades, including experts in the fields of engineering,
purchasing, construction, production management, maintenance and
distribution .
Horst Mahmoudi, CEO of Smartenergy says, "The construction and operation of
a large volume of projects in Portugal is one of our key challenges for
2020. The quality of the Voltalia teams, the solidity of its balance sheet
and the ability to offer integrated construction and maintenance services
were key factors for selecting Voltalia".
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia explains: "In recent years, our team in
Portugal have been mostly mobilized internationally. Great opportunities for
Services provision have also appeared recently in the domestic Portuguese
market and we are happy to support our new partner Smartenergy locally in
carrying out its projects".
