SunEdison to build major Italian solar park
"The facility, which will be on operating by the end of this year, will surpass Spain's Almedilla de Alarcon which has a 60 MW capacity and is considered the biggest operating in the world," the source said.
The project, which will use ground-mounted PV systems that turn sunlight into power, has already obtained all necessary authorizations and the facility will be built in the northern Italian province of Rovigo, the source said.
Top managers of SunEdison, a unit of Silicon maker MEMC Electronic materials Inc, and local Italian authorities will make a presentation for the project.
