German energy infrastructure asset manager Luxcara has awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to joint venture Ameresco Sunel Energy. The Kozani solar project in northern Greece is for nearly 130,000 photovoltaic modules on one-axis trackers, for 83 MW.
The deal includes a medium-voltage grid connection and an extension of the 400/33 kV high-voltage substation. Construction works are already underway, the companies revealed. Luxcara holds a majority stake in the project. The site is in the Western Macedonia province. It is Greece’s only remaining coal mining and power hub, undergoing decarbonization and modernization.
“Projects like this reflect the growing maturity of the Greek renewable energy market, where scale, structure, and long-term stability are becoming increasingly important. As Ameresco Sunel Energy, we are focused on supporting this shift by delivering projects that meet the evolving expectations of international investors,” said Ameresco Sunel’s Vice President Konstantinos Zygouras.
