EDP chooses Portugal to invest 115 million euros to build its largest hybrid PV plant in Europe - Portugal Business News Portugal News – EDP chooses Portugal to invest 115 million euros to build its largest hybrid PV plant in Europe that will combine with the Alqueva hydroelectric plant to inject power from two renewable energy sources into the same injection point. EDP Renewables, that is headquartered in Madrid and traded on Euronext Lisbon under EDPR, has chosen Portugal’s Alentejo region to build its largest photovoltaic (PV) plant in Europe, the Sobreira photovoltaic plant. Portugal’s new PV plant will have an installed capacity of 242 MWp and an average annual electricity production of 418 GW/h. The EDPR Sobreira PV plant will be a hybrid project, as it will inject its electricity into the grid through the connection point attached to the Alqueva II hydroelectric plant. This will allow solar energy to be injected into Portugal’s electricity grid during the day, while hydroelectric energy will be injected into the electricity grid at night. Portugal’s new hybrid PV project to be built by EDP will optimize the use of the Alqueva II hydroelectric plant that will store the hydraulic energy produced during the day in reservoirs to be used in periods of low solar resource. #portugalnews #renewableenergynewsportugal #largesthybridPVplantineurope #Sobreiraphotovoltaicplant #AlquevaIIhydroelectricplant
