Norges Bank signed an agreement with Iberdrola in January 2023 to acquire the 49% stake for €600m ($640m).

The portfolio includes 137MW of operational projects in Castilla-La Mancha and Aragon and the remaining projects are under development.

These assets are located in Andalusia (358MW), Aragon (175MW), Castilla y León (102MW), Castilla La Mancha (45MW), Extremadura (343MW), Madrid (55MW) and Murcia (50MW).

When completed, the portfolio is expected to generate enough clean energy to be supplied to more than 700,000 Spanish homes a year.

Last month, Iberdrola submitted its plans to the European Commission to build a photovoltaic (PV) panel manufacturing facility in Spain, with an annual production capacity of 1.6GW.

The company also sought funding under the European Commission’s Innovation Fund programme.
