New solar power plant in Trans-Ural region will start operating until end of year

UFA, 24 October 2017. /Bashinform News Agency/. A new solar power plant in Trans-Urals is planned to be put into operation before the end of the year. The capacity of Isyangulovskaya solar power plant in Zianchurino district will be 9 MW.

The investor of the object is a group of companies "Hevel" (a joint venture of "Renova" and JSC "RUSNANO"). The project is implemented on a land plot of 30 hectares. The volume of investment in Isyangulovskaya power plant is more than 1 billion rubles. The construction of the facility began in April 2017. At present, commissioning works are under way at the plant.

This is the third solar plant built in the republic by Hevel company within the framework of the project on creating a network of solar power stations in the south of the region. Two stages of Buribaevskaya solar power plant in Khaybullino region with a capacity of 10 MW each and three stages of Bugulchanskaya solar power plant in Kuyurgazino district with a capacity of 5 MW each are already operating in the republic. The total capacity of all solar power plants in the region after completion of the project will be 64 MW.

Recall that Buribaevskaya and Bugulchanskaya power plants were visited by the Head of the Republic Rustem Khamitov during his working trips, who marked the significance of the project for the energy sector of the region.

"300 days a year the sun shines with all its might in the Bashkir Trans-Urals. This energy should be used, and currently yet small, but significant objects of solar energy are being built there", stated Rustem Khamitov at the Russian Energy Forum in Ufa. "In 2020, we will have about 100 MW of installed capacity of solar energy. This is only two percent of the total installed capacity of the republican energy system, but it is already a good step forward. So we will continue our work in this part. "
