The proposed solar capacity will complement the 540MW of windpower capacity that EGPE was awarded in May this year.
Enel Group Global Renewable Energies head Antonio Cammisecra said: “This new milestone confirms our commitment to green energy in Spain, a country that continues to offer growth opportunities for our renewable projects.
“Together with the wind capacity awarded in May, this 339MW of solar capacity will support our renewable footprint in Spain, while also contributing to the country’s push to achieve its green energy goal.”
