X-Elio to build 120-MWp solar project in Spain
- Spain-based solar power developer X-Elio plans to develop a 120-MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) project in the Spanish district of Alicante.
X-Elio will certainly spend near to EUR 100 million (USD 99.3 m) in the solar project which will certainly be found in the municipality of Villena.
The plan has actually obtained a beneficial environmental influence evaluation from the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, the developer said on Monday.
Called La Atalaya, the solar plant needs to have the ability to produce 226,231 MWh throughout its very first year, or enough to fulfill the demand of over 65,000 local houses. It will certainly produce almost 200 work.
X-Elio noted it will certainly position most of La Atalaya's interior emptying line underground, hence minimising the environmental influence.
In addition, the company is developing a series of campaigns to support the local community, such as shrub vegetation screens and control and monitoring of animal populaces.
