Energy and weather services company meteocontrol China, a subsidiary of Shunfeng International Clean Energy, is to provide integrated remote control systems to Zonergy.
The systems are to be installed at a 100-megawatt photovoltaic power station being developed by Zonergy and nearing completion in Punjab, Pakistan.
The said power plant is part of the first phase of a 900-megawatt power project, touted to become the largest such installation globally.
According to a report, meteocontrol will provide its second generation data acquisition devices, sensor and portal software VCOM to Zonergy. Additionally, it will provide configuration, commissioning and training services as part of the deal.
Punjab Province in Pakistan lies in the proposed China-Pakistan economic corridor which will see a concentration of industrial projects in due course. The region receives abundant insolation to support projects of the size of 900-megawatt photovoltaic terrestrial power project.
And Pakistan plans to complete the project on priority basis as it is part of the “One Belt, One Road” strategy of the country.
The systems to be supplied by meteocontrol are expected to help build an intelligent monitoring platform that would increase power station earning and reduce overall operation and maintenance costs, a report says.
