Matrix Renewables has secured a EUR-50-million green loan from the European Investment Bank to finance the construction of five new solar farms in Spain with a total capacity of 240 MW. The plants will be located in Castile and Leon and Extremadura, regions designated as cohesion regions by the EU due to lower per-capita income.
