Tenerife Island in the Spanish Canary Islands, a popular winter resort destination for Europeans -- on this island with abundant sunshine, one of the world's largest solar (photovoltaic) power plants, with a rated output of 12.6 megawatts, has reached completion.
With ground floor area reaching 175,000 square meters, which is 3.7 fold as spacious as the Tokyo Dome stadium, the new power plant can achieve over 10,000 ton of reduction in CO2 emissions compared to a coal-fired thermal power plant.
The member employees in Sumitomo Corporation's Renewable Energy Investment Team led the solar power plant project to success, in association with local capital.
