Cero Generation, a solar energy developer in Europe, has selected Ameresco SUNEL Energy as the EPC contractor for its 100 MW solar PV project in Prosotsani Drama, Greece.
Ameresco SUNEL Energy is a joint venture between Ameresco, a cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, and Sunel Group, a developer and EPC contractor for energy projects.
The Delfini solar project is one of Greece’s first solar project to utilize a private power purchase agreement that does not benefit from government subsidies on electricity costs. Project construction has begun and is expected to reach completion by Q3 2023.
“We’re helping to deliver cheaper, cleaner power across the country and supporting the government’s ambitious transition goals. This project is an important step in the expansion of Cero’s Greek portfolio and one of many market-leading projects in our pipeline,” said Marta Martinez Queimadelos, CEO of Cero Generation.
“As one of the first private power purchase agreement for a solar project in Greece, this move sets the stage for future contracts,” said Britta MacIntosh, SVP, Ameresco.
“Sunel Group’s collaboration with Cero and Ameresco on the Delfini project is an important milestone, as it gives us the opportunity to leave our footprint in yet another important photovoltaic project. Cero is a valuable partner for us,” said Sunel Group CEO Konstantinos Zygouras.
