Spanish firm Solaria plugs in its 626-MW solar farm in Spain

• Spanish solar power developer-operator Solaria Energia y Medio Ambiente SA (BME: SLR) said on Thursday that it has effectively connected its 626-MW Cifuentes-Trillo solar PV complex to the grid in Spain.

The company announced the information in a brief bourse filing, providing no other details.

The Cifuentes-Trillo project was launched in very early October 2019 when Solaria had a simple portfolio of 75 MW of set up capacity.

At the time, Solaria held grid legal rights to transform Trillo right into a 450-MW solar farm. Some 2 weeks later on, the company protected extra grid permits that permitted it expand the project to 626 MW.

Construction of the complex began in the springtime of 2021.

Today, Cifuentes-Trillo is among 4 large-scale solar projects in Solaria's portfolio in Spain, the 3 other being the suggested 595-MW Garona, the 782-MW Villaviciosa as well as the 1,300 Basque Country projects.
