Statkraft's 140-MW Solar Project to Boost Green Hydrogen
- Statkraft's Arada Solar project in Spain aims to power green hydrogen production for local manufacturers, with minimal impact on land and agriculture.
Norwegian power producer Statkraft A/S is moving forward with its 140-MW Arada Solar project in Castellon province, eastern Spain. The project aims to contribute to green hydrogen production for local tile and ceramics manufacturers. The company is seeking a construction license and public utility status for the power lines and substation, not the plant itself. The infrastructure will run through six municipalities, with plans to minimize impact on land ownership and agricultural activities.
Statkraft has already secured the environmental permit and consent for the project, which represents an investment of close to EUR 100 million. The solar park, located near the ceramics cluster in Castellon, will play a key role in a green hydrogen production scheme to help decarbonize the area's manufacturing industry. The company is working to reach agreements with all landowners to ensure smooth implementation of the project.
