EGP Begins Construction of Two Renewable Projects in Spain
05 May 2020 by Power Technology
Italian multinational renewable energy company Enel Green Power (EGP) has started construction of a solar and wind project in Spain.
The solar photovoltaic (PV) project, which will be called Los Naranjos, will be built in the province of Seville.
For this facility, EGP will build nine switching stations, as well as an electric substation and an underground cable network spanning 4.5km.
The 50MW solar PV project will be built with an investment of €28.2m and will be equipped with 128,520 solar PV panels and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
Once operational, the solar project will generate approximately 100GWh of clean energy annually, while offsetting 67,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere each year.
Los Naranjos will be EGP’s second solar facility in Andalusia after its 50MW Las Corchas’ PV plant in Carmona. Construction works of the €30m Las Corchas’ PV plant began last year.
EGP’s wind power farm, called Los Gigantes, will be built between the towns of Blesa and Moyuela, respectively in Teruel’s and Zaragoza’s provinces.
