Spanish renewable energy project developer Tartessos Power Development and RP Global have concluded a service agreement that will see both parties develop a 300 MWp PV project in the Castilla-León region in Spain.
“Tartessos’s experience and strong track record of project delivery convinced us that they are an ideal company for us to partner with to develop this significant project,” said Jorge Rodriguez, CFO and Country Manager for Spain at RP Global.
The land for the 300 MWp project has been secured, following successful environmental impact assessments, as work proceeds on hitting the next development milestones.
“Identifying the right long-term local partner to develop our projects is becoming more and more important for us, as we aim to develop a 2GW pipeline of wind and solar PV in Spain by 2024,” added Rodriguez
The development of further joint projects in the region are being discussed as both companies explore the possibility of converting the planned 300 MWp solar park into a wind-solar hybrid project.
With over three decades of accumulated experience developing renewable energy plants around the world, Tartessos services range from turnkey “greenfield development” to “ready-to-operate”, and has portfolio of almost 2 GW of photovoltaic and wind projects under development in Spain.
RP Global is an independent power producer that draws its expertise from over 35 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, in which it implemented over 40 projects. As a developer, investor and operator, the company’s focus is on hydro, wind and solar PV projects. Currently, RP Global is actively developing a pipeline of around 9 GW.
The company’s international team is currently active in Europe, South America and Africa, and is a founding partner of ‘Enery’, building an operating and greenfield PV portfolio in Eastern Europe, and PPA advisory ‘Pexapark’. Headquarters are in Vienna, Austria, and Madrid, Spain.
