Thursday, 14 August 2008
SEOUL, Aug 13 (AFP): A German firm said today it has signed a deal to extend a South Korean solar energy plant which is already Asia's largest.
Conergy said in a statement it has reached a framework agreement on a 20- million-euro (29.8-million-dollar) project to expand the plant at Sinan in the southwest of the country.
The extension is expected to be completed by year-end and will add 4.35 megawatts to the existing 19.6 MW capacity of the plant, which became fully operational in June at a cost of 90 million euros.
When the extension is completed the plant will cover an area of 720,000 square metres, equivalent to 96 football fields, and will provide enough energy to supply 7,200 households.
