Ingeteam has signed its first contract with AVANGRID, a subsidiary of Iberdrola in the United States of America (USA), for the supply of power electronics technology for a photovoltaic plant. The Powell Creek project is located in the county of Putnam, Ohio, USA.
With an area of 546 hectares and an output of 183 MVA, the new plant is expected to be capable of generating clean energy to power 30,000 homes per year, as well as stimulating economic development in the area through the creation of some 400 jobs during the plant's construction process.
