OHLA will participate in the construction of the 330 MWp Renopool photovoltaic park in Badajoz (Spain). With a capacity of 330 MWp, it will be the largest solar project promoted by Plentiude worldwide.

Plenitude, a company controlled by Eni, is active in over 15 countries across the world with a business model integrating the production of electricity from renewable sources, with over 3 GW installed capacity.

The photovoltaic installation will generate 660 GWh per year, equivalent to the energy consumption of around 200,000 households, and will feature seven photovoltaic plants and one electric substation near Solana de los Barros. It will be built using the best available technologies, including bifacial modules, solar tracking structures, and central inverters.

The Renopool solar park will be connected to the national transmission grid through infrastructure consisting of three connection nodes and a high-voltage line built and shared with other developers.

2,300 MW managed in renewable energies

OHLA’s portfolio includes more than 30 renewable energy projects, both completed and under construction, in Europe, America, and Asia, with a total installed capacity of close to 2,300 MW. This energy would supply approximately 1,000,000 homes per year.

All of this is part of its firm commitment to combat climate change, aiming for carbon neutrality and directing all its efforts towards a circular economy.

In Spain, where it manages close to 1,800 MW, the company has recently been awarded a new photovoltaic project in Castilla la Mancha, in addition to another in Zaragoza and another in the province of Seville. It is also carrying out the design, construction and commissioning of a 130 MW photovoltaic plant in Badajoz (Spain), which will generate more than 240,000 MWh/year of 100% clean energy and will supply electricity to some 70,000 homes, i.e. some 150,000 people.
