Innovative Deployment Moves Ahead with NX Horizon®
Like many European countries, Greece is pursuing a rapid deployment of new generating capacity to meet its target of 82% renewable energy by 2030, resulting in tight project timelines. And while turning to brownfield sites – such as decommissioned coal mines – opens up possibilities for more solar, that too comes with its own construction challenges.
To handle the topographical challenges, and power a substantial amount of Greece’s annual electricity with low-cost solar, our proven NX Horizon® intelligent tracking platform was deployed at the 550 MW Oricheio PPC Ptolemaida Solar Park, built on a former lignite mine in Western Macedonia.
By leveraging our robust European supply chain and regional manufacturing relationships, we helped to simplify logistics and facilitate rapid deployment to support local economic development goals and support production in high-value periods.
Download the case study. See how we supported the largest solar power project in Greece at the time of construction, and one of the largest utility-scale projects in Europe:
Deliver 1 TWh/year expected annual production
Eliminate 550,000+ tonnes CO₂ annually
Generate 2-4x more power in shoulder hours (compared to fixed-tilt systems)
Supply up to 1.8 percent of Greece’s annual electricity demand
