QUADRANTE is responsible for the construction management and supervision of RWE’s Morgavel 44MWac Solar Plant, located in Sines. Construction work is carried out by Omexom, a Vinci group brand dedicated to power generation, transmission, and distribution solutions. The work also includes CME as responsible for the transmission lines, switching stations and control building.

The overall plant will have more than 91 000 solar panels, located in a 100 hectares site in the “Herdade do Morgavel”, and will be connected to the Sines thermoelectric power plant via an existing 60kV overhead line. RWE’s Morgavel photovoltaic plant will be able to supply the equivalent of approx.. 42,000 Portuguese homes. These are more than those of the City Sines.

QUADRANTE said it will be responsible for the construction management and supervision, commissioning, and the Solar Plant interconnection. Services also include planning, cost and quality control, safety coordination and environmental control.

André Coelho, QUADRANTE's Head of Construction Management and Supervision Business Unit, said that "all the conditions are met to deliver RWE with a solar plant of excellence."

He adds that "this work will allow QUADRANTE to strengthen the Construction Management and Supervision services we provide in the Renewable Energy field and to meet the goals we set in terms of sustainability. However, for us, it is mostly an honor to be able to bring our experience to such an innovative work, which will increase the production of green energy in Portugal and contribute to the energy transition of the European Union.”

High performance bifacial modules will be used in the Solar Plant construction to allow solar radiation absorption from both sides of the modules.

A plan for ecological continuity was also developed, which included a set of environmental impact reduction measures previously agreed upon with the Institute for Conservation of Nature and Forests. Among the measures are fauna pathways, ecological corridors, and a visual curtain tree that will make this plant invisible from the N-120-1 road.
