Kyoto News Kyoto to Build a Mega Solar Plant

solarメガソーラー、京都市が設置へ 売電で年間3600万円

Kyoto just announced that it will begin construction of a mega solar plant in the southern part of the city along the Katsura River.

The city's Waterworks Department estimates that the solar panels will generate enough electricity to serve the electricity needs 200 homes for one year.

Construction on the plant will begin this year and be complete by 2013.

It is estimated that the plant will be able to generate 90,000 kw of electricity annually.

The solar farm will be built at the Waterwork's Tobasui Hoken Center, which is home to Kyoto's largest water treatment plant.

The Hoken Center covers 460,000 square meters and sits hard by the Katsura River and its cycling route.
