DuPont has inaugurated its largest solar installation. The 4.5 MW plant at
DuPont’s Cernay facility features 18,400 crystalline silicon solar panels over 15
acres, and is one of 13 solar facilities worldwide on DuPont land.
The solar panels, manufactured by Jinko Solar, feature advanced DuPont
materials designed to improve the power output, durability and return on
investment for solar energy systems.
The Cernay installation was connected to the grid in March 2014 and is expected
to produce 5,000,000kWh of electricity each year. The project was developed by
Hanau Energies, a French project developer and investor in solar installations,
and was built in the record time of two months.
“We are extremely proud to partner with a global player like DuPont on this
project in France,” said Jean-Luc Westphal, president, Hanau Energies. “The
solar park in Cernay is a perfect illustration for how advanced and reliable
technology and best practices in installation, operations and maintenance can be
put into practice.”
Martin Virot, country leader, DuPont France, said: “We are pleased to see this
project realised in France, leveraging our advanced materials to ensure a
well-performing, long-term source of electricity as we strive to meet the growing
global energy demand more sustainably.”

NTT Communications Corporation (NTT
Com) will extend the Asia
Submarine-cable Express (ASE) to
Cambodia to provide reliable, 15Tbps
capacity communication infrastructure
for the increasing number of
multinational companies operating in the
Mekong region.
The extension is based on an agreement
that NTT Com has reached with Chuan
Wei (Cambodia) Co Ltd. Under the
agreement, NTT Com will lay
Cambodia’s first submarine optical fibre
cable.
The ASE will connect Cambodia and
other countries in the greater Mekong
sub-region with major locations in Asia,
including Singapore, Hong Kong and
Japan. In addition, the company is
expanding its number of ASE
connection points and Nexcenter global
data centres in Southeast Asia to
provide network, data centre and cloud
services in end-to-end solutions.
The 7,800km ASE submarine cable is
routed away from the Bashi Channel and
the south coast of Taiwan, both areas
that frequently experience earthquakes
and typhoons, and will take the shortest
route of any submarine cable connecting
Japan to Hong Kong and Singapore.
