Spanish PV association wishes to limit the dimension of new solar farms

• Spain needs to limit the size of new photovoltaic projects and also much better disperse the plants in the country. Rather, smaller sized projects of one to ten megawatts ought to be supported, which would then also lie closer to the customers, demands the Spanish National Association of Solar Power Producers ANPIER (Asociación Nacional de Productores de Energía Fotovoltaica).

Among the factors offered is that this would prevent a regional clustering of large-scale power plants. "Commercial business benefit from economic situations of scale to establish their projects inexpensively," states ANPIER Head of state Miguel Ángel Martínez-Arocal. As a result of "too much speculation by huge mutual fund," this leads to worth production outside the nation, he includes.

Additionally, restricting the building and construction of large-scale projects would permit towns throughout the nation to appreciate financial benefits rather than simply a couple of. Additionally, huge electrical power transmission losses can be prevented if the solar output is utilized locally.

Consequently, in solar public auctions 20 percent of the tendered capacity must be scheduled specifically for PV projects with less than 10 megawatts. Little and also medium-sized solar plants can be much better incorporated right into backwoods, delight in greater approval amongst the population as well as are frequently had by neighborhood campaigns.

In Spain, 99 large photovoltaic or pv nuclear power plant were apparently developed in between 2016 and also 2020: 41 plants with a capability of 10 to 50 MW and 52 plants with 50 to 100 MW. An additional six nuclear power plant are larger than 100 MW. The advancing capacity of these plants is 5,489 MW, with 1,216 MW to be added in the short-term.
