EDP Renewables (EDPR) has started power generation from a photovoltaic plant in Spain.
The company achieved success in the Acampo Arpal plant, which is located in Zaragoza. The PV plant has an installed capacity of 9.2MW.
Rocío Sicre, Managing Director of EDPR Spain, was quoted in a statement, “Leading the energy transition is one of EDPR's priorities. Through it, we can contribute to achieving, for example, the much-needed energy independence in Europe and meet the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda.”
He further stated, “We have also been working and playing an active role in this regard for years, and we expect to be a completely green utility by 2030 and a carbon-free utility by 2025.”
The company had achieved 1.5GW of solar power capacity as of September last year.
Under the company's strategic plan, it further aims to increase its solar capacity in Europe by 2.4GW. This is almost 25% of its total solar capacity by 2025.
Besides, EDPR also has planned to invest in solar power up to 41% of the €19bn gross renewable investment target by 2025, it said.
