Local politicians visited the inauguration ceremony. The plant will produce an impressive 44 GWh every year, which will power 12,000 households and prevent 375,000 tonnes of CO2.
The facility sits on seventy hectares and houses 172,000 panels (albeit they are not T·Solar panels but Asian ones, according to the local press). The project's budget was around 180 m eur.
La Rioja, a Spanish region known for its wine, already covers 62% of its electricity with renewable sources.
T·Solar, which is controlled by Isolux, is currently developing an additional 100 MW of projects, many of which will use panels produced in the company's new manufacturing plant in San Cibrao des Viñas, Galicia (Spain).
