Siemens Energy Management Digital Grids CEO Thomas Zimmermann said: “The project uses the latest microgrid technology solutions to balance and secure energy production in the area.

“The combination of advanced control, distributed grid architecture and assets in the form of microgrids will ensure the grid is operated as reliably, resiliently, and efficiently as possible.”

The LEMENE is reported to be one of the key projects in the region that received an investment aid from The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment (MEAE).

The energy to the micro-grid will be supplied from two solar panel fields, which have an annual electricity output of 3,600MWh and will feature more than 15,000 panels, six gas motors and fuel cells.
