Aquila connects five solar plants

- Five projects, located in Huelva, Albacete, Ciudad Real and Toledo, with a combined peak power of around 210MW, will produce enough renewable energy to supply more than 104,850 homes annually potentially avoiding the emission of around 103,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
- Aquila Clean Energy is developing further plants in Andalusia and Castille-La Mancha with a combined capacity of more than 3GW

Aquila Clean Energy, a developer of integrated & hybrid clean energy solutions and an independent power producer, is connecting five new solar photovoltaic plants in the provinces of Huelva, Albacete, Ciudad Real and Toledo (Spain).

With a total peak capacity of around 210 MW, these plants will produce enough renewable energy to supply more than 104,850 homes annually and potentially avoid up to 103,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. These projects have generated more than 720 jobs during their development and construction.

" The connection of these plants is another step forward in executing our strategy in Spain, focused on increasing the renewable energy share in the market and supporting the energy transition in the country. We have already commissioned more than 400MW in Spain and we will continue working to increase the amount of clean energy in the Spanish energy mix," said Germán Garde, Construction Director for Aquila Clean Energy in Spain.

The company is also developing other projects in Castille-La Mancha with a total capacity of more than 1GW that will generate enough energy to supply more than 488,000 homes.

In addition, Aquila Clean Energy is developing projects in Andalusia with a capacity of more than 2GW that will generate energy to supply more than 976,000 homes.

Aquila Clean Energy has developed a total of twelve projects in Spain that are now operational with a total capacity of more than 400 MW. The company currently has a portfolio of solar PV, wind energy and battery energy storage projects under development and construction with a capacity of around 4GW.

Aquila Clean Energy has seven UNEF Seals of Excellence for Sustainability for its renewable energy projects in Spain, demonstrating its commitment to social and environmental compatibility.
