Conergy agrees to supply Pakistan's largest solar-energy complex

05 June 2012

June 4, 2012. Conergy AG, a German solar-panel maker, will plan and supply Pakistan's biggest solar-power plant as the country seeks to increase access to electricity. The 50-megawatt project at Bahawalpur in the Cholistan region is owned by DACC Power Generation Co. and the Pakistani government and will supply 30,500 households with electricity, Conergy said. Total investment will probably be about $170 million to $190 million, with Conergy's share at about 60 million euros ($75 million) to 70 million euros. The government is seeking to spur investment, create jobs and expand access to power in a country where some areas can be without energy for as long as 18 hours a day, Conergy said. The company, working with developer Ensunt Inc., will supply 210,000 modules and 140 inverters.
