The power plant will be a 40-megawatt solar power system using state-of-the-art thin-film technology, and should be finished by the end of 2009. 550,000 First Solar thin-film modules will be used, which will supply 40,000Mwh of electricity per year. The installation will be in the Muldentalkreis district in the state of Saxony in eastern Germany, to be built on half of the location’s 220 hectares in the townships of Brandis and Bennewitz. The investment cost for the Waldpolenz solar park amounts to some Euro 130 million.
