Spain, Guadalajara: German energy utility RWE has expanded its business activities in Spain with the commissioning of its Casa Valdes solar farm near Madrid.
Located in Guadalajara province, the 44 MW solar farm is equipped with 97,740 bifacial solar modules and covers 97 ha of land.
It will generate enough clean energy to power 30,000 homes a year.
“With the commissioning of Casa Valdes, RWE will contribute towards achieving the Spanish climate targets. The Spanish sun is a great partner in the energy transition, and innovative technologies like the bifacial modules used at Casa Valdes help us to make the best out of this energy source and this site. I am also looking forward to the completion of our solar plants that are still under construction and the further projects to come in Spain as one of our core markets this year,” said RWE Renewables Europe and Australia Onshore Wind and Solar CEO Katja Wünschel.
RWE said it is also using its bifacial solar modules at its other Spanish solar projects, including the Puerta del Sol and Las Vaguadas facilities.
The company is currently preparing to enter its developing wind and solar projects in Concurso de Capacidad, a round of tenders for capacity in Spain’s electricity transmission grid.
