Yingli Solar, a large vertically integrated photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturer partnered with renewable energy developer Push Energy to supply its multicyrstalline modules for four large-scale PV power plants in the United Kingdom.
The four sites will collectively have a clean, renewable electricity capacity of up to 66 MWp and will be located in East Anglia, U.K. The projects will be completed by February 2015.
Push Energy works with landowners, local stakeholders, planners and the power networks to supply renewable, green power into the grid for local use. The company has a strong background in farming and conservation management and selects sites that have minimum visual impact with appropriate landscaping.
“Solar PV farms have an important role to play in the U.K.’s long-term energy security,” said Jason Wallis, finance director of Push Energy.
“We are committed to working with well-established companies with a solid project pipeline such as Push Energy,” said Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy. “It also supports our long-term commitment to the U.K. market, where we see sustainable growth potential in the coming years.”
