The subsidiary of Italian energy group Eni, Plenitude, has officially commenced construction of the La Flota solar power plant in the municipality of Fortuna, in Spain’s Region of Murcia. The project, with an installed capacity of 90 MW, will cover an area of approximately 120 hectares. The facility will feature 150,000 latest-generation bifacial modules combined with solar tracking technology, with an expected annual output of over 185 GWh.

Electrical infrastructure and industrial partners

Connection to the distribution grid will be ensured via a 6-kilometre underground medium-voltage line at 30 kV and a 30/132 kV substation. The construction, entrusted to Negratin — a Spanish company operating globally in the renewable energy sector — will be carried out in collaboration with international technology suppliers and local contractors. During this phase, the site camp and ancillary facilities will be powered entirely by a photovoltaic system equipped with battery storage.

Additional projects and local engagement

Alongside the main facility, Plenitude will also finance the installation of three rooftop photovoltaic systems with a combined capacity of 200 kW on public buildings, reserved for local use. This initiative aims to strengthen cooperation between the company and regional and municipal authorities, represented at the groundbreaking ceremony.

National deployment and energy outlook

Already active in the region with the Cerrillares solar plant (50 MW), Plenitude currently operates approximately 950 MW of solar and wind power facilities across Spain. It also has more than 1,200 MW of capacity under construction in Andalusia, Castile and León, and Extremadura. Concurrently, the company is developing a pipeline of projects representing over 2 GW of additional capacity, spanning various renewable technologies.
