This preliminary version of the Sectoral Territorial Plan for the Implementation of Renewable Energies in Catalonia (PLATER), presented to representatives of the 28 municipalities in Baix Camp, details that the region must contribute to national goals with 903.2 MW of solar photovoltaic energy and 677.7 MW of wind energy, totaling 1,580.9 MW by the year 2050.
In the photovoltaic sector, the power will be distributed as 351.9 MW on buildings, 101 MW in artificialized spaces, and 450.3 MW in non-artificialized spaces. It is noted that the power already installed or authorized and pending execution (88.9 MW) will count towards achieving this goal set by ICAEN.
According to the plan's estimates, the occupation of non-artificialized land for photovoltaic use in the region will amount to 730 hectares, representing approximately 1% of its total surface area.
Regarding wind energy, the target is 677.7 MW, of which 69.7 MW are already installed or authorized. The PLATER aims to regulate the implementation of these energies across Catalonia to meet the objectives outlined in the Catalonia Energy Outlook 2050 (PROENCAT), which requires the installation of 62,000 MW of renewable energy by 2050 to decarbonize the energy system.
