The Minister of Universities and Research Company, Salvador Marín, said today at the opening today of a new solar power plant in Totana, that "from the regional government will continue supporting renewables, as are industries with great future based on R + D + i, skilled employment and the environment capable of attracting significant investment and boost the economy. "
The new solar power plant, promoted by ABB Spain, has a total power of 900 kW and has a total of 666 photovoltaic panels mounted on 45 solar trackers, which have a tracking system the most warm and guides plates to the filing incident.
It also allows the plates to force guidelines for cleaning and maintenance, protecting them from inclement weather.
The average monthly production of this plant is about 1,700,000 kilowatts per month, representing a saving of issuance of up to 10,200 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually, in the case that this energy was produced with natural gas, and up to 20,400 if it originated from coal combustion.
Installed solar farms in the region produce 486,400,000 kilowatt hours per year and prevent the emission of 243,200 tons of carbon dioxide, with a clear environmental benefit and improve air quality.
Murcia is the third in sales volume to the electrical system of electricity from photovoltaic systems in Spain.
Thus, Marin noted that "we have some excellent features for solar energy production, turning the sun on one of our sources of wealth.
Oil Region of Murcia is the sun. "
In the Region of Murcia has grown from an installed capacity of 30.5 megawatts at year-end 2007 to 304 megawatts, representing an increase of 899 per cent.
In this sense, Marin said the region is a national leader in the production of photovoltaic solar energy, so that "at present and are operating and pouring electricity, the network of solar farms, with a cumulative installed capacity of 304 megawatts, resulting in energy consumption equivalent to 121,600 homes a year production 486,400,000 kilowatt hours. "
This increase in solar energy installations in the region, Marin said, has also been possible, apart from climatic characteristics typical of the autonomous region, "the willingness of the regional government to expedite the formalities that has been done to implement solar farms in our community.
