The project includes installation of 5,472 photovoltaic panels with a nominal power of 585 Wp each, mounted on a structure made of aluminium profiles, connected to inverters with capacities of 125 kW and 100 kW, hooked up to a newly built transformer station of 2 x 1,600 kVA, 0.4/6kV. The photovoltaic power plant is connected through the newly designed transformer station to the 6 kV bus bars of the existing onshore substation.
