Spain
ROME, April 11, 2024 – Eni subsidiary Plenitude has begun construction of a 330-MWp solar park in Badajoz, Spain, Eni announced on Tuesday.
The project, named Renopool, will consist of seven photovoltaic plants and one electric substation and is expected to generate 660 GWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the energy consumption of around 200,000 households. Construction is expected to be completed in 2025.
“Renopool confirms our commitment to the Spanish renewable energy sector, where we have about 400 MW of wind and photovoltaic plants in operation, more than 1,000 MW under construction and more than 2,000 MW under development,” Stefano Goberti, CEO of Plenitude, said.
The installation will be built by construction companies OHLA, Sacyr and Sarpel and will incorporate bifacial modules, solar tracking structures and central inverters. It will be connected to the national transmission grid through three connection nodes and a high-voltage line built and shared with other developers.
Renopool will be the largest solar project ever built by Plenitude globally. The company operates in 15 countries and has more than 3 GW of total installed generation capacity, as well as a network of 20,000 charging points for electric vehicles.
