JA Solar and Solarpro collaborate to supply TOPCon DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules to a 240 MW solar power plant in Tenevo, Bulgaria.
Solarpro is managing the design, implementation and monitoring of the project.
Funded by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), this project supports the energy transition in Eastern Europe.
This project marks a major step forward in the development of renewable energies in Bulgaria, contributing to the European Union’s energy objectives.
Installation of the modules begins in the third quarter of 2024, with commissioning scheduled for the end of the second quarter of 2025.

Benefits and prospects

This 240 MW solar power plant increases the share of solar energy in Bulgaria’s energy mix and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
The project creates local jobs during the construction phase and beyond, stimulating the regional economy and strengthening the country’s energy infrastructure.
The project is aligned with the European Union’s climate objectives and could serve as a model for other countries in the region seeking to strengthen their renewable energy capacity.
The collaboration between JA Solar and Solarpro accelerates the energy transition and promotes a sustainable future for Europe.

Economic and social impact

In addition to environmental benefits, the project will generate positive economic and social spin-offs.
The construction phase will create many local jobs, stimulating the regional economy.
The improved energy infrastructure will contribute to the country’s stability and energy security.
The project demonstrates the benefits of strategic partnerships in the renewable energy sector.
The success of this project could encourage other countries to adopt similar energy solutions, accelerating the energy transition across Europe.
JA Solar and Solarpro are leading the way in collaboration for sustainable energy projects.
Their commitment to technological innovation and sustainability positions these companies as key players in the field of renewable energies.
