Spanish energy company EDP Renováveis (EDPR) has partnered with gas company Reganosa to build clean energy generation and storage projects.
The projects will be located in As Pontes and seven surrounding municipalities in Spain.
The initiative will involve a $926m (€780m) investment in the region and is expected to create almost 400 permanent operation and maintenance jobs.
EDPR and Reganosa intend to build wind, energy storage, hydrogen and hydroelectric generation projects. The companies intend to make Ferrolterra a ‘capital of green energy’.
EDPR Spain general manager Rocío Sicre said: “This initiative demonstrates, once again, the strategic importance that Galicia has had for EDPR for more than 20 years.
“It also reflects the positive impact of renewables in terms of quality employment, favouring the economic and social revitalisation of the Galician population.

Reganosa general manager Emilio Bruquetas said: “Fourteen years ago, we brought gas to Galicia. Now with EDPR, we are going to bring hydrogen.
“We are going to participate in the configuration of a new energy ecosystem in our community.
