Work to begin on Aradippou photovoltaic park

Construction on a photovoltaic park in Aradippou is set to begin next month, making the municipality the first in Cyprus to have its own solar park, it emerged on Saturday.

The project will cost €3.1 million and span almost 47 square metres of land in Ayios Fanourios.

According to a municipality announcement, a day earlier the Aradippou mayor Evangelos Evangelides signed a deal with the consortium Hadjichristofi Construction Ltd & Inteso Construction Ltd & Tques LLC, which have taken on the project of building the 2.96 MW solar park.

With works starting in September, the project is set to be completed in 15 months.

“Once the project is completed, Aradippou municipality will be the first to cover all its energy needs for street and public lighting, and will also be an example of green development across all of Cyprus,” Evangelides said.
