Burnaby,
BC, Canada: Day4 Energy Contract Extended to Cover Two Additional
EnBW Projects
Module
manufacturer, Day4 Energy has announced that leading German energy
supplier EnBW has extended its contract with Day4 Energy and scheduled
two additional large-scale projects set for construction in 2009
and 2010.
Day4
Energy's First Project for EnBW in Riggenbach, Germany |
The
contract extension is based on the successful completion and performance
of an initial 1 megawatt (MW) solar energy project with EnBW.
Delivering
reliable renewable energy to the German county of Sigmaringen,
the operational system is the largest photovoltaic (PV) installation
to date for both companies.
Located
in Riggenbach, Germany the solar energy project was formally brought
into operation late last year at a dedication ceremony attended
by the State of Baden-Württemberg's Minister for Environment Tanja
Gönner.
Day4
Energy's German project management subsidiary Day4 Systems supplied
the solar energy array's more than 6,200 highly efficient Day4
48 MC solar modules on 2.3 hectares of former landfill.
The
system will generate enough clean power to meet the energy needs
of 300 German homes per year and avoid approximately 750 tons
of carbon dioxide emissions annually, the equivalent of removing
469 German cars from the road per year.
"Based
on the excellent performance data from the solar energy system's
first two months of operation, we expect to see significantly
more electricity generation than the stated targets of one million
kWh per year. That exceptional performance coupled with the speed
and professionalism of the Day4 Energy team makes us eager to
extend our cooperation through the installation's second and third
phases," said Thomas Leibinger, director of environmental protection
for the county of Sigmaringen.
"The
completion of this project and our contract extension with EnBW,
one of the biggest names in German energy, solidifies Day4 Energy's
growing presence in the important German solar market," said George
Rubin, president and COO of Day4 Energy. "What is particularly
important is excellent performance of our modules as well as the
system overall. At the end of the day, it is all about field performance,
kWh and return on investment to the end user."
