The company said it has successfully interconnected a 70MW photovoltaic power plant near Rovigo, a town in the northeast of Italy. The project took nine months to complete. <\/p>\n<p><!--adsense#300--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With construction completion in less than one year, we believe this deployment signifies a new milestone for the industry and will become the standard for future mega projects,&#8221; said Carlos Domenech, SunEdison\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s president. <\/p>\n<p>The Rovigo solar plant is expected to generate energy to power more than 16,500 homes and prevent the emission of more than 40,000 tons of CO2. That would equal removing 8,000 cars from the road. <\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/gehrlicher-solar-builds-solar-park-in-record-time\/\" title=\"Gehrlicher Solar Builds Solar Park in Record Time\">Gehrlicher Solar Builds Solar Park in Record Time<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/big-solar-power-plans-for-tunisia\/\" title=\"Big Solar Power Plans for Tunisia\">Big Solar Power Plans for Tunisia<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/massive-solar-pv-farm-opens-in-germany\/\" title=\"Massive Solar PV Farm Opens in Germany\">Massive Solar PV Farm Opens in Germany<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/report-says-wind-power-capacity-grew-in-2009\/\" title=\"Report says wind power capacity grew in 2009\">Report says wind power capacity grew in 2009<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italy is not a leading renewable energy country in Europe, lagging behind other southern European nations such as Spain and Portugal.
