to Europe's largest photovoltaic power plant in the Spanish province of Murcia.

Trina Solar will supply modules for Europe's largest PV power plant

Trina Solar has signed an agreement with EPC contractor ACS Group and its subsidiary Cobra to supply 496,000 TSM-PE14H polycrystalline PV modules
.
The supply agreement will include a total of 167 MW of PV modules
.
Supply is scheduled for the second half of 2018 and the first quarter
of 2019.

"Despite the paralysis of the Spanish PV market in recent years, this effort proves that solar energy is shining again in the Spanish market, as the technology is already competitive
without subsidies.
" said Gonzalo deViña, head of Trina Solar's components business Europe
.

The Spanish National Commission initially approved the Financial Markets and Competition Project (CNMC) in June this year, while the Ministry of Environmental Affairs approved it
back in July 2015.

According to a document published in the Official Gazette of Spain, the government has approved the construction of photovoltaic power plants and a substation
on 1,088 hectares of land in Mugla, a small city in the Murcia region.
The project will also build a transmission line to connect the photovoltaic power station to the grid of the national grid operator RedEl Ctric de España
.

When the project launched in 2012, Spain had already eliminated its feed-in tariff scheme for large-scale solar energy
.
Therefore, the project will be built
without government subsidies.

Spain's PV market is growing rapidly, with 3.
9 GW of solar
energy allocated in last year's auction.
Among them, more than 800 MW has signed power purchase agreements, marking the end
of Spain's photovoltaic weakness.
Due to continued activity in the private power purchase segment, this year could see the first subsidy-free solar parks connected
to the grid.
