15MW phase two of Turroneros plant in Valencia brings the asset’s total installed capacity to 50MW
X-Elio has begun operations of the second phase of a solar farm in Alicante in Spain.
The Turroneros array (pictured), located in the municipality of Xixona, Alicante, has been expanded by 15MW in its second phase, bringing the total installed capacity of the asset to 50MW.
This second phase is part of X-Elios investment strategy in the Valencian community, where the company plans to invest €250m in renewables projects.
In addition to 50MW of operational capacity, X-Elio also has 283MW in various stages of development in the region.
The developer has carried out several local initiatives as part of its community plan, focusing on the environment, education, health, and community engagement.
Among these initiatives are guided tours of the solar plants for local schools and the installation of solar-powered streetlights along the path to Xixona Castle.
X-Elio’s employee working in the regions of Murcia and Valencia José Enrique Pardo said: “We are proud to have completed the expansion of a flagship project like Turroneros in Xixona.
“This plant reflects the best practices that guide our daily operations: product quality, environmental responsibility, and community engagement.
“In these challenging times for the Valencian community following the recent DANA, we are committed to continuing to drive the ecological transition and economic growth in this region.” |
