9REN installed further 19MW of generated capacity when it connected 6 new photovoltaic plants in August of this year. The list of the new connections includes: a new 850kW plant in Lanuvio, Lazio; two 1MW plants in the region of Abruzzo – the first in Scafa in the province of Pescara, and the second in Campli in the province of Teramo; and two plants in the province of Campobasso, Molise – a 1MW plant in the township of Montenero di Bisaccia and a 4MW plant in the township of Ripabottoni. But 9REN welcomes in particular the opening of the plant that marked the lion’s share of installed capacity for this series: the “Parco di Stalla”, an 11MW plant in Palagianello in the province of Taranto, Puglia, where there is also a project calling for the integration of Historic Manors within tourism and nature circuits designed and developed by 9REN in collaboration with the Istituto Tecnico per il Turismo G.M. Sforza di Palagianello.
With the opening of these new plants, 9REN now has 40 operational power plants in Italy for a total of 74MW installed capacity of which over 60MW (27 plants) were opened in 2011.
