A ground-mounted solar power plant of 466 kW started generating electricity on a regular basis at Slovenian state-owned gas power plant Termoelektrarna Brestanica (TEB).

GEN-I’s subsidiary GEN-I Sonce installed a photovoltaic system, as the contractor, at the gas power plant run by fellow GEN Group member Termoelektrarna Brestanica (TEB). The 466 kW ground-mounted solar power plant entered regular operation, Naš stik reported.

The new facility in Brestanica in the municipality of Krško near Slovenia’s border with Croatia consists of 810 modules. The project was backed by the government’s renewable energy grant program. It covered 20% of the cost, which amounted to just under EUR 600,000.

MFE TEB4, the new unit, entered test operation in February. It is the fourth PV system at the Brestanica gas power plant. Two are on roofs and one is a solar canopy on the parking lot. Commissioned in 2009 and 2010, they have 170 kW in combined peak capacity.

The estimated annual production of the fourth solar power system can meet the electricity needs of more than one hundred Slovenian households.

Almost a third of the project budget was invested in the installation of a transformer. It enables more renewable electricity capacity to be connected to the grid around TEB, the article reveals.

GEN Group’s state-owned parent company GEN energija operates the Krško nuclear power plant, also known by the acronym NEK and, in Slovenian, JEK.
