By GlobalDataInfraRed Capital Partners official Richard Crawford said: “We are very pleased to be partnering with Repsol on this large operating solar project.
“Projects such as Valdesolar offer a route to improved energy security and decarbonisation of the Spanish energy system.
“Together with last year’s investment in the Cadiz solar projects, Valdesolar adds to TRIG’s technological and geographic portfolio diversification.
“Once the Cadiz solar projects are operation, TRIG’s solar portfolio will have net generation capacity in excess of 500MW.”
TRIG said that Spain currently represents 8% of the company’s portfolio, with solar photovoltaic (PV) accounting for 15%.
Going forward, the company will collaborate with Repsol in managing the Valdesolar project’s exposure to merchant power prices by considering a range of power price hedging strategies.
In September last year, Statkraft agreed to divest a solar project portfolio in southern Spain to TRIG for an undisclosed sum.
Statkraft has maintained responsibility for the construction of the four solar parks, which will be co-located in Cadiz and have a total capacity of 234MWp.
