The Government has authorized L’Energètica to purchase the Els Valentins photovoltaic solar park in Ulldecona for 2.8 million euros, securing 15.4 GWh annually for public services supply.

The facility, which features 15,990 panels, is expected to generate an annual production of 15.4 GWh. This figure is similar to the annual energy consumption of a large hospital, such as Sant Joan de Reus, significantly contributing to the decarbonization of public services.
The park currently has a capacity of 9.8 MWp and is in the testing phase prior to grid connection, with an expansion project planned up to 11.3 MWp. The purchase operation of the installation and the land from the promoting company, Eguzki Solarcat SL, was agreed upon for a value of 2.8 million euros, following an external audit.
This plant, covering an area of 17.7 hectares, will become the second largest in Catalonia and the main generation source for the public company L’Energètica. Furthermore, the design allows for coexistence with the primary sector, reserving areas for complementary agricultural activity and livestock grazing.
The acquisition is part of L’Energètica’s roadmap to fulfill the Government’s mandate to decarbonize all public services of the Generalitat de Catalunya before 2040. This operation represents a significant step towards achieving the goal of having a self-generation capacity of 1,000 MW of renewable energy, reducing dependence on the electricity market.
