Enel Green Power’s 3Sun Gigafactory in Catania, Sicily, is poised to become Europe’s largest solar panel manufacturing facility. Originally established in 2010, the factory is undergoing a significant expansion under the TANGO (iTaliAN pv Giga factOry) project. This initiative aims to increase the plant’s production capacity from 200 megawatts (MW) to 3 gigawatts (GW) annually by the end of 2024. The expansion is supported by a €600 million investment, including approximately €118 million from the European Union’s Innovation Fund.

HVDC BorWin3 – Tennet- Siemens-Petrofac
HVDC BorWin3 is a high voltage direct current (HVDC) link, currently transmitting offshore wind power to the power grid of the German mainland. The project differs from most HVDC systems in that one of the two converter stations is built on a platform in the sea. Voltage-Sourced Converters with DC ratings of 900 MW, ±320 kV are used and the total cable length is 160 km. The project is the most recent of the German offshore HVDC projects: awarded in 2014 and completed in 2020.
Period of contract: we provided 2 Telecom and Automation engineering resources (offshore), for the period January 2019 to March 2020.
