Iberdrola commissioned its very first photovoltaic plant in Castilla-La Mancha
- Spanish energy Iberdrola SA has appointed its first PV plant in the autonomous region Castilla-La Mancha. The "Barcience" facility in Bargas, Toledo, has actually a set up capability of 50 MW as well as used 144,900 modules from an unrevealed maker. The construction has actually included 250 workers and also many national providers.
According to the company, the construction procedure needed to handle harsh problems, such as Storm "Filomena" which brushed up via the centre of the nation. Freezing temperature levels developed a layer of ice at the highest part of the solar farm, covering both the land as well as the framework, and also it took two rainstorms to thaw the ice.
Iberdrola currently runs 2,386 MW wind power in the region. In addition to "Barcience", the business is building the "Romeral" (50 MW) photovoltaic plant in Cuenca between the communities of Alarcón as well as Olmedilla de Alarcón, furthermore the "Olmedilla" photovoltaic plant (50 MW) in the Cuenca towns.
In Castilla-La Mancha, Iberdrola is creating one more photovoltaic project in Ciudad Real, in Puertollano, with a financial investment of EUR150 million ($177 million). "Puertollano II" will certainly come to be a testbed for ingenious technologies: Alongside the 100 MW photovoltaic plant, a battery storage space system and also a plant for the production of green hydrogen by electrolysis from 100 percent sustainable resources will be set up.
In Spain, Iberdrola is currently building 1,200 MW of eco-friendly generation facilities as well as has a project portfolio of more than 17,000 MW in this Iberian region. The company targets global investments worth EUR150 billion over the following decade, EUR75 billion by 2025. In Spain, Iberdrola's eco-friendly investments to 2025 total up to EUR14.3 billion. After spending EUR120 billion over the last twenty years, Iberdrola's renewable energy ability has to do with 35,000 MW mounted worldwide.
