The San Donaci solar PV power plant will be connected to the Italian grid by late 2010.

In addition to design and engineering, Siemens will provide inverters, transformers, medium-voltage equipment as well as the monitoring and control system for the solar PV plant.

René Umlauft, CEO of the Siemens Renewable Energy Division, says: "With our comprehensive know-how spanning the entire energy conversion chain, we’ll also be supporting Ital Green Energy in the future in the implementation of its ambitious plans to expand renewable energy and to set up smart grid solutions.”
