During the first days of July, the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge published resolutions regarding a significant renewable generation capacity, approving over 1,000 MW through various administrative processes.
Of this total, photovoltaic technology accounted for 841.07 MW approved via public utility declarations, administrative authorisations, and environmental reports.
Wind energy projects totalled 251 MW approved, primarily through public utility declarations, while energy storage projects amounted to 80.04 MW via environmental declarations and impact reports.
Among the largest projects is the photovoltaic installation FV Caparacena, promoted by Iberdrola in Granada, with a capacity of 274.96 MW, although the company partially withdrew from its public utility declaration.
Another significant project is the Canales Sur wind farm by Capital Energy in Palencia, approved with 120 MW under a public utility declaration.
Photovoltaic technology clearly dominated approvals. For example, METKA-EGN secured a favourable environmental impact declaration for the Coral Solar project of 150 MW in Valladolid.
Additionally, Verbund AG obtained the public utility declaration for the PFV Stopper Solar installation in Málaga, with a capacity of 114.30 MW.
Enel also achieved a public utility declaration for its photovoltaic project Caparacena 220, with 93.24 MW in Granada.
Other approved projects include TotalEnergies (52.50 MW in Madrid), hybridisation projects by Naturgy Renovables with solar installations of 43.2 MW in Zamora and 39 MW photovoltaic plus 20 MW storage in Valladolid.
The photovoltaic hybridisation FV Alentisque by Eolia, with 49.32 MW in Soria, and the photovoltaic installation Dalia by Capital Energy in León, with 107.54 MW, were also approved.
Wind energy saw notable advances as well, with projects approved for Green Capital, including the wind farms El Castillar (71.5 MW) in Guadalajara, Cabezuelas (60 MW) across Soria and Zaragoza, as well as Pedrecha (59.4 MW) and San Cristóbal (60 MW) in Soria.
Energy storage projects advanced through hybridisation approvals, notably the La Loma project (36 MW) by Alerion in Teruel and the storage module Zafra (24.04 MW) by OPD Energy in Seville.
Lastly, among withdrawals and abandonments, notable are the Madrid Norte 1 solar installation by Matrix Renovables with 69 MW, which withdrew its administrative application, and the Río Seco solar plant by Maat Servicios Integrales, with 51 MW in Castellón, which also withdrew.
This set of resolutions underscores the continued strong regulatory momentum for renewables in Spain, consolidating technological and geographical diversification within the sector.
