Sonnedix, an international renewable energy producer, has inaugurated its 50 MW solar photovoltaic power plant, “Sonnedix Los Frailes”, located in Badajoz, in southwestern Spain. Sonnedix Los Frailes, which has been in operation since December 2022, is built on 111 hectares of land, with over 110,000 monocrystalline solar panels and a transmission line to the Vaguadas substation.

A plant capable of supplying more than 36,000 homes

During construction, Sonnedix generated approximately 250 new jobs in Badajoz, consistent with its ESG standards and commitment to the local economy and community. In June 2020, Sonnedix signed a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Europe’s largest renewable energy producer, Statkraft, for the supply of 100 GWh of energy per year, making this project Sonnedix’s first PPA for a grid parity project in Spain.

The plant has been in operation since December 2022, with an estimated annual production of 102,000 MWh, capable of supplying over 36,500 homes with clean electricity and avoiding over 24,000 tons of CO2.

Sonnedix confirms its presence in Spain

The inauguration ceremony was attended by more than 50 guests, including local and regional government representatives. Gerson González, director of Sonnedix Spain, said: “This plant is the first project entirely developed and built in Spain by Sonnedix Spain, as well as the assumption of its management, operation and maintenance. It is therefore a symbol of our consolidation in the market as a leading producer of renewable energy. We are very proud to share and celebrate this milestone with so many partners, customers and friends today.”

Present in Spain since its inception in 2009, Sonnedix currently has more than 1.3 GW of capacity in projects in operation, under construction and in various stages of development. The renewable energy producer continues to expand its project platform through the acquisition and development of renewable energy projects in Spain and other OECD markets.
