US-based solar developer-operator Emeren Group has acquired an 86-MWp portfolio of utility-scale solar projects in Spain from local industrial and service group Negratin Global Services, an industrial and service group that operates in the renewable energy space, industry and installations within the energy space.
The deal comprises thirteen ready-to-build projects ranging from 6 MW DC to 14 MW DC. Once operational, they are expected to generate nearly 166.5 GWh of clean electricity annually, which is projected to be enough to power 51,380 households in the local region, along with saving 19,544 vehicle emissions each year.
Construction of all thirteen projects is set to commence at the site located in central Spain in late 2024, with the final project being brought online by early 2025. Emeren plans to add battery energy storage systems (BESS) to the permitted site location for the power generation projects. This will act as part of the transition to a low-carbon future, resulting in the saving of 35,903.9 tons of CO2 per year.
