Murcia. Company Renewable energy in the Murcia region S.A., a subsidiary of the multinational energy company Iberdrola, has already received approval to launch the new solar park that will be located between the municipalities of Cartagena and Torre-Pacheco. According to municipal sources, the station will supply the complex with renewable energy. SABIClocated in La Jura, will become the largest self-consumption solar power plant in Europe.
The Ministry of Environmental Transformation granted both Prior administrative permission as aAdministrative license for constructionTwo basic requirements, as stated in the decision signed in Madrid by the Director General of Energy and Mining Policy, Manuel Garcia Hernandezon March 13 and published on Monday in the Official Gazette of the Region of Murcia (BORM).
The promoter had to include modifications in the project, called F.V. BalsikasTo obtain the administrative license that was already granted last year, this newspaper reported. In fact, it previously had to implement a series of changes to achieve a DÍA (Environmental Impact Assessment), achieved in December 2022, which, among other things, reduced the total occupancy of the entire facility by 20 hectares.
The complex consists of a photovoltaic facility with an installed capacity of 85,925 MW (although the maximum unit power is up to 99,857 MW), Two power lines (one underground and one overhead) and an electrical auction. The solar power plant will have 149,040 units. AndIn total, it will occupy the space of the perimeter fence 177.15 hectaresThat is equivalent to about 100 football fields.
The photovoltaic facility will be built specifically in an industrial park adjacent to the complex SABICnorth of the municipality of Cartagena, while the 132 kV high-voltage line will pass through the municipalities of Cartagena and Torre-Pacheco.
More than 60 million investments
This project responds to the process between the two multinational companies: SABIC reached an agreement with Iberdrola to supply the electricity produced with renewable energy (PPA: Power Purchase Agreement) for 25 years, thus avoiding “the emission of 700,000 tons of carbon dioxide”.2“.
The energy compañía contains an initial income of 51 million euros, as we report the public infrastructural present at BORM on March 15, 2021. Per the future of the fire, he has received 60 million dollars that are in Iberdrola with the Sabic comunicaron. year.
The photovoltaic cells are scheduled to be commissioned in 2024 itself. When the plant is commissioned, “SABIC customers, including those in the automotive and construction sectors, will have access to polycarbonate solutions produced with 100% renewable electrical energy,” he explained. The company said in a statement.
Both entities expect up to 450 workers to be involved in the project. Its work will have an “important regional component” because it will employ “civil engineering companies, workers, transporters, suppliers of raw materials, cranes, auxiliaries, etc., as well as promoting industrial suppliers in the Murcia region.”
