Iberdrola Makes Progress on the Construction of One of its Largest Photovoltaic Projects in Spain

Iberdrola is making progress in the construction of one of its largest photovoltaic projects in Spain, the new 'Ciudad Rodrigo' plant, which is being built in the province of Salamanca, in the areas of Valdecarros and the Sierra de Torralba, and will have a capacity of 316 MW.

This solar facility, which is part of Iberdrola's partnership with Norges Bank Investment Management, will generate enough clean energy to supply 150,000 homes a year and will prevent the emission of 75,000 tonnes of CO2 a year into the atmosphere. In addition, this plant has entered into a long-term purchase and sale agreement (PPA).

The construction of the 589,000-module photovoltaic plant, with an investment of €200 M, will have a strong local component. Up to 800 workers and numerous local suppliers are expected to be involved in the project during peak periods.

Iberdrola works on numerous initiatives that combine the installation of renewable projects with the conservation of the biological diversity of ecosystems, taking care of flora, fauna and our natural heritage. In this case, it will restore habitats of interest to the community.
