OCI SOLAR POWER ANNOUNCES ITS COLLABORATION WITH KACO NEW ENERGY
Dec 06, 2012
KACO new energy, a manufacturer of inverter with an international company based in Germany, and OCI Solar Power, a developer of solar power systems industry leaders, have formalized a partnership that will create the largest solar photovoltaic project in Texas, the so-called 'Lone Star State'. This megaproject will yield to KACO new energy sales of approximately $ 500 million over the next ten years.
CPS Energy, the supplier of services of the seventh largest city in the United States, gave the realization of these projects OCI Solar Power in July. In search of the best inverter for this ambitious project, OCI Solar Power has decided in favor of the XP series of German manufacturer of inverter KACO new energy. Like the consortium partners and Nexolon ERCAM Trackers, KACO new energy will carry its own production plant in San Antonio, providing employment to more than 70 new employees. These 70 new jobs are part of the more than 800 are expected to be created in San Antonio as part of a 400-megawatt solar project.
"We are pleased to have found the ideal partner KACO new energy," said Anthony Dorazio, President of OCI Solar Power. "We believe very important to address all projects in a uniform way, environmentally responsible and appropriate to the needs of the community. The implementation of on-site solar inverters with KACO new energy will also ensure new jobs in the long term in San Antonio. "
Eliaszewskyj Dorko, CEO of KACO new energy USA said: "We are proud to create a new milestone for the good of the citizens of San Antonio under the direction of a partner who is so professional and competent OCI Solar Power".
In their outdoor version with external transformers and an additional AC breaker on the base plate, the central inverters from KACO new energy will form functional units defined IPS (Integrated Power Station). The first 50 MW solar power fed into the grid in San Antonio already at the end of 2013. By 2016 the total will then go up to 400 MW. At the end of the deployment phase the combined sub-installation will be able to supply electricity to approximately 70,000 residential areas of the metropolitan area of Greater San Antonio, which correspond to one tenth of customers whose CPS Energy delivers electrical energy.
With this project, it is expected that Texas will climb the rankings of the five major producing states of solar energy. Four hundred megawatts correspond to four percent of the total U.S. PV market: thanks to them, the State of Texas will double the production of energy from solar photovoltaic systems in their territory. With the completion of the project in 2016, CPS Energy will have achieved its goal of delivering 1,500 MW of clean energy produced with a few years earlier than 2020, which had previously fixed to get the result
