Company will also be responsible for O&M at the 51MW Tarquinia site
BayWa’s renewables business has completed a 51MW solar farm in Italy.
The Tarquinia solar farm (pictured) consists of more than 94,000 fixed modules.
BayWa r.e. acted as the general contractor and developer of the project, managing not only the development of the park and all the authorisation phases, but also its construction and the installation of the photovoltaic panels.
With work now complete, BayWa r.e. will be responsible for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the solar farm.
Mitigation measures were implemented to improve the integration of the solar park with the surrounding area.
These include the creation of an artificial pond to promote aquatic microhabitats suitable for the colonisation of amphibians, other vertebrates and aquatic macroinvertebrates.
In addition, existing dry-stone walls were preserved and restored to maintain landscape integrity and promote local biodiversity.
The planting of native plant species is also planned to create ecological corridors and improve environmental connectivity with nearby natural sites.
Alessandra Toschi, Managing Director of BayWa r.e. Italy, said: “This project demonstrates that it is possible to actively contribute to the decarbonisation of the country, while respecting the unique characteristics of the region.
“We are proud to be able to provide renewable energy to more than 35,000 households, while contributing to enhancing biodiversity and preserving the landscape.” |
