A photovoltaic niche with this photovoltaic installation in Murcia

While this photovoltaic installation in Murcia stands out as an important investment in the territory, it is not the only plan related to solar energy in Murcia.

Other projects make this Spanish region attractive for solar energy investment, which has stagnated in Spain in recent years. Among them, the following stand out:Würth, which at the time proposed the construction of a plant with a capacity of287 MW, and Andalusia, which promotes another plant near the400 MW,

The installation of this photovoltaic plant in Murcia has been in the planning stages since 2012. However, it is only now that all the necessary permits are being finalized. This is because the CNMC report also gives the green light for a substation needed to transmit the electricity produced by this large-scale plant.

The approval also coincides with the upcoming auction being prepared by the Ministry. The company had previously stated that the facility would be built without subsidies. It is now eligible to participate in the auction.
