decided to approve only two of the
four plants included in the phase
I of project.
The Ministry said the two other
projects were not approved as
these represented a threat for
several animal species present in
the area.
Alternative sites for the two
projects were also rejected due to
other technical and environmental
issues.
After Spain introduced the
moratorium for solar in 2012, not
a single large-scale PV project
has been built in the country,
although several projects such as
the Iberia Termosolar’s projects
were announced across several
southern regions over the past
years. All of these projects, which
were originally conceived to sell
power to the local grid at market
prices, could now eventually
compete in Spain’s upcoming 3
GW renewable energy auction.
