The Government presented the Sectoral Territorial Plan for the Implementation of Renewable Energies (PLATER) to the municipalities of Baix Ebre, setting the goal of implementing 1,771.6 MW of clean energy in the region before the year 2050.

The Sectoral Territorial Plan for the Implementation of Renewable Energies in Catalonia (PLATER), presented to the municipalities of Baix Ebre, establishes that the region must contribute 509.7 MW of solar photovoltaic energy and 1,261.9 MW of wind power to meet the decarbonization objectives set for the 2050 horizon.
This plan aims for each territory to contribute renewable energy based on its potential. Regarding solar photovoltaic power, the preliminary document details that 254.3 MW will be hosted in buildings, 87.9 MW in artificialized spaces (such as disused quarries or landfills), and 167.5 MW in non-artificialized spaces.
The occupation of non-artificialized land for photovoltaic use in Baix Ebre will amount to 270 hectares, representing 0.27% of the total surface area of the region. The power already installed or in processing (currently 2.6 MW) will count towards the photovoltaic goal.
In the wind sector, the 1,261.9 MW target already includes the 191.9 MW of power already installed or authorized that is eventually executed. Following the presentation to the regions, the PLATER will be publicly exhibited to open a three-month period for submitting allegations.
Once the plan is definitively approved, municipalities will be able to adapt their urban planning regulations to govern the installation of renewable energies within their boundaries, always adhering to the criteria defined in the PLATER.
