Scope of Supply
Turn-key supply, configuration, and commissioning of the Protection, Automation and Control System for the Torres Vedras Photovoltaic Plant.
Project Description
ENERGETUS is one of the leading EPC (engineering – procurement – construction) companies in the
region for medium sized power plants. Focusing on Integrated Solutions based on Renewable
Energy Power plants (Photovoltaic, Wind, Hydro), ENERGETUS can deliver any solution to provide
sustainable energetic autonomy to its customers, including Battery Energy Storage Systems,

dispatch centre, prepared to optimize the production and increase the availability levels.
This plant has a licensed power of 1 MVA and is located near the city of Torres Vedras. The
connection to E-REDES Distribution Grid was successfully achieved on May 3 rd 2023 and the Grid
Code Compliance tests we performed successfully on May 29 th 2023.
ENERGETUS will be responsible for building other similar solar plant projects, which will also include
PAC Systems supplied by ENGIPROT, to be connected to grid during 2023 and 2024.
