Lightsource bp, a global leader in the development and
management of solar energy projects, started its operations in the
United Kingdom in 2010, and has since developed an installed
capacity exceeding 9.5 GW of solar projects across 19 markets.
The Enipeas project is located in the regions of Larissa and
Fthiotida and it is expected to reach completion within 18 to 24
months. The project comprises two clusters: Skopia, a 400 MWp
southern cluster and Kalithea, a 160 MWp northern cluster, where
nearly 970,000 photovoltaic modules will be installed. Upon
completion, the project is expected to generate 0.90 TWh of
electricity annually, powering 225,000 households and reducing CO2
emissions by 379 kt per year.
“The 560 MWp Enipeas project contributes substantially to create
a more sustainable future for Greece as it will provide affordable,
secure, and cleaner energy and will support the country’s
decarbonization goals and energy independence. We are excited to
partner with Ameresco Sunel Energy SA on Enipeas, one of the
largest clean energy projects of its kind in Europe”, said Natalia
Paraskevopoulou, Lightsource bp Head of Country for Greece.
“Additionally, the Enipeas project will contribute to boosting the
local economy. The presence of workers and contractors will drive
demand for housing, groceries, and other local services, generating
additional income for local businesses and entrepreneurs.
As the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) and
O&M (Operations and Maintenance) provider, Ameresco Sunel
Energy SA is dedicated to ensuring the project's success through
sustainable practices. Ameresco Sunel Energy SA is deeply committed
to supporting local communities through this project, having
already hired several local contractors and service providers,
including a local civil contractor, community liaison officer,
security guards, environmental subcontractors, water supply
services, aggregates, and concrete supplies as well as a welfare
cleaner. Ameresco Sunel Energy SA has rented several accommodations
in Skopia Village for project personnel and provided two tractors
to the communities of Skopia and Kallithea. The team plans to
further boost local employment by hiring additional workers,
security guards, and subcontractors for various construction and
infrastructure related jobs.
“Our efforts align with Lightsource bp’s commitment of
delivering cleaner, more secure energy while using local talent as
much as possible for Greece,” said George Sakellaris, CEO at
Ameresco. “We’re excited to work with the Lightsource bp -team in
supporting the country’s decarbonization and energy independence
goals as well as the local economy.”
"We are thrilled to be part of the Enipeas Solar PV Project.
This collaboration with Ameresco and Lightsource bp highlights our
commitment to accelerating the transition to renewable energy in
Greece” said Konstantinos Zygouras, CEO of Sunel Group. "Our team
is dedicated to delivering high-quality EPC services that will make
