Hive Energy sought approval for development of Andalucia’s 45.6MW Solar Park

Hive Energy has clinched a planning approval for the development of Andalucia’s first subsidy free 45.6 Solar Park in Espejo, Cordoba region. The EI Salobral project will offer renewable energy to 32,000 homes and be connected to the national grid via a 132kV Endesa substation located 500 metres from the site.

Europe witnesses the highest amount of irradiation at 2.150Kwh/kWp compared to UK with 950kWh/kWp or Germany with 1,070kWh/kWp the potential of solar power in Spain could not be curtailed for long. El Salobral, this first un-subsidised solar development is a shining example of solar’s indisputable place in Spain’s future renewable energy mix.

Hive Energy’s Luis Martinez has been heading the project for quite some days claimed “Hive Energy’s advantageous position in the Spanish solar market results from the early opening of Spanish offices in 2015. Back in 2015 there were few developers developing solar in Spain and there was little interest from funds.Three years later the market is one of the most attractive solar markets in the world.”
