RP Global plans 50-MW solar project in Croatia

European renewables developer RP Global plans to build a 50-MW/65.6-MWp solar farm in southern Croatia, the ministry of economy and sustainable development of that country said after receiving the amended environmental impact assessment for the project.

The Austria-based firm proposed to change the layout of the solar farm and use more powerful photovoltaic modules, which would raise the plant’s capacity from 40 MW/52.3MWp as originally planned, according to its petition to the ministry.

The solar project, known as Ljutine, is planned to be located in the town of Ljubitovica, Split-Dalmatia County.

RP Global’s Croatian unit RP Global Projekti doo is in charge of the project.

RP Global arrived in Croatia in 2002. It has since developed and built two wind farms with a combined capacity of 78 MW in the country, and added solar projects to its local portfolio, according to the firm’s website.
