The Basque company Global energy Services (GES) will build a 50 MW solar photovoltaic plant in Navarra that will generate 85,000 MWh/year of clean and renewable energy every year, equal to the annual consumption of approximately 24,000 homes in Spain. Work on the park, which will be connected to the Olite substation, will be completed in the first half of 2025 and the systems will come into operation by the end of the year.
GES will undertake full EPC work for this project including design and engineering, equipment procurement and construction of the civil and electrical works, as well as associated evacuation infrastructure, after winning the construction award for the new park solar photovoltaic.
The park, as indicated by the company, “will generate 85,000 MWh/year of clean and renewable energy every year, equal to the annual consumption of approximately 24,000 homes in Spain, avoiding the emission of approximately 20,000 tonnes of CO2 in the same period”.
According to the company, this project “marks a milestone in the reactivation of photovoltaic solar energy in Navarra”. In 2023, the region added just 3 MW of new installed capacity, which represented just 0.005% of the new solar power added in Spain during that year. In contrast, Navarra incorporated 202 MW of wind projects in the same period. According to data from Red Eléctrica, at the end of 2023 the provincial community had 170 MWp of installed solar photovoltaic energy, which positions solar photovoltaic energy as the fourth technology by installed capacity (5.1%), behind energy wind power, combined cycle and hydraulic energy.
«In this context, the photovoltaic solar system assigned to GES – Global energy Services stands as an emblematic project, which will provide a notable contribution to the solar energy installed in the community, increasing it by approximately 25% compared to the capacity declared at closing of 2023”, say the Zamudio company.
«We are very happy that this new plant reactivates the photovoltaic projects in Navarra and increases the installed capacity of the community. This work allows GES to take on the full EPC of the project, were our company carries out the complete execution of the plant, ensuring compliance with the investor’s business objectives,” said GES PV Construction Manager Santos Garcia.
