Solarcentury progresses with 300-MWp solar project in Spain

Solarcentury has received Environmental Impact Declaration from Spain's Ministry for Ecological Transition for its 300-MWp Talayuela solar project in the country, the UK solar developer said on Friday.

Having achieved this key milestone in the development of one of Europe's largest solar farms, the company aims to reacha ready-to-build status in the coming months and bring the plant online in early 2020.

The project is located in the region of Extremadura. At the end of 2017, Solarcentury announced a memorandum of understanding with Extremadura's Department of Economy and Infrastructure to develop the site. The project was developed with local partner Genia Global Energy, the UK company said then.

The solar park is expected to generate enough electricity to power 200,000 homes.
