Neoen inaugurates Portugal’s largest solar park

French renewable energy company Neoen has officially inaugurated Portugal’s largest solar park in Azambuja, 70km north of Lisbon.
It will generate more than 500 gigawatt hours (GWh) of green energy each year, enough to power 110,000 homes.

It is made up of the 204 megawatts peak (MWp) Rio Maior solar farm and the 68MWp Torre Bela solar farm, and is strategically connected to the REN (Redes Energéticas Nacionais, the Portuguese national electricity system) substation through a 400kV overhead line.
