Small town in Spain says "yes" to 20-MW PV project

A small town in eastern Spain has approved plans for a 20-MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project on its territory.

The city hall of Sant Jordi, in the Valencian Community, said Tuesday that the project will represent an investment totalling between EUR 16 million (USD 18.9m) and EUR 17 million.

The promoter is NRG Investment, a professional services firm focused on investment management and renewable energy, whose president Marcus J. Lacruz also heads a Valencian association of energy and water processing companies.

The investor plans to install some 50,000 PV modules on land sitting close to the Sant Jordi golf course. Once constructed, the solar plant plant will be the largest of its kind in the entire Castellon province, the authority said.

In the coming days, the city hall will meet with the promoter and hold public engagement meetings to explain the benefits of the project, mayor Ivan Sanchez said in statement.
