The Rovigo Photovoltaic Power Plant is a 70 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in northeast Italy, about west of Rovigo. Construction of the plant was started in March 2010 and was completed in November 2010 at a cost of 276 million euros.[1] When completed, it was the largest single-operating PV plant in Europe.[2]
The project, also called the San Bellino PV power plant,[3] was developed by SunEdison and built by Isolux Corsán.[4] In October 2010, SunEdison sold the project to the infrastructure investor First Reserve for US$382 million and remained responsible for operating and maintaining the plant.[5]
