The 300 megawatt Cestas solar photovoltaic project in France has now
been fully connected to the electric grid, according to recent reports. The achievement of full-grid connection followed the connection of
the last 12 megawatt (MW) portion of the project — making for a total of
25 different 12 MW project portions.
The solar photovoltaic (PV) project — the largest in the whole of
Europe, located in the Bordeaux region of France — is set to be
officially inaugurated on December 1st. The project was built by a
consortium featuring the French company Eiffage, Krinner, and Schneider
Electric.
“The Cestas project is full erected, the mechanical completion has
been achieved since September 30, and now it has been fully connected to
the grid,” stated Patrick de Labrusse, the project director for Cestas
consortium, in a conversation with pv magazine.
“We are very satisfied because the consortium has performed very well
and we’ve been able to execute what we anticipated to do at the
beginning of the contract.” “The handover was targeted for early January and we will be able to
complete it in late November or in the early days of December,”
continued de Labrusse.
