Voltalia Powers Up 140MW Karavasta Solar Park in Albania

• Voltalia has completed the construction of its 140-MW Karavasta solar park in Albania. 200HA of land will offset 29,160 tonnes of CO2 emissions, enough to meet the annual consumption of 220,000 residents. With a 15-year contract for half its output, Karavasta is part of Albania's goal to reach 54.4% renewables share by 2030.

Voltalia, a French renewable power plants operator, has completed the construction of its 140-MW Karavasta solar park in Albania. The project covers 200 hectares of land and is expected to produce enough electricity to meet the annual consumption of 220,000 residents. It will also offset 29,160 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions yearly. The plant was among the winners of Albania's first EBRD-backed solar power auction and secured a 15-year contract for half of its output. The remaining electricity will be sold to private operators. Karavasta is part of Albania's goal to reach a 54.4% renewables share in gross energy consumption by 2030.
