Solaria obtains favorable EIS for two solar power plants in Portugal

Solar energy developer Solaria continues its expansion in Portugal with the receipt of environmental permits for two new solar plants with a total capacity of 375 MW. This will allow the company to reach its goal of 500 MW by 2025 in the country, while contributing to the energy transition.

Please share:

Spanish company Solaria recently announced that it has received favorable environmental impact statements (EIS) for two of its solar plants in Portugal, Casal de Valeira and Vale Pequeno, with a total capacity of 375 MW.

Reaching the 500 MW target by 2025

With these environmental permits, Solaria will be able to reach its goal of 500 MW by 2025 in the Portuguese country, in addition to the 63 MW already in operation. This milestone is also an important contribution to Solaria’s strategy to reach 6.2 GW by 2025, aligned with the European Union’s objectives and its REPowerEU plan, which foresees the installation of more than 50 GW of solar energy per year, reaching 600 GW by 2030.

Solar power projects for more than 200,000 homes

These solar power projects will generate green energy for more than 200,000 homes and avoid the emission of approximately 180,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Mr. Enrique Díaz-Tejeiro, President of Solaria, stated that “These environmental permits are fundamental to meet our strategic plan to reach 18 GW by 2030 and ratify our commitment to the environment. Our presence in Portugal is essential to continue leading the energy transition in the Iberian Peninsula, so necessary in the current context.”

Details on Solaria’s solar projects in Portugal

Solaria already has two solar power plants in operation in Portugal, with a capacity of 63 MW. The Casal de Valeira and Vale Pequeno projects are located in northwestern Portugal, about 80 km from Porto, and are expected to be completed by 2025. The plants will be equipped with high-efficiency solar panels and advanced storage technologies to maximize green energy production.
