The Sectoral Territorial Plan for the Implementation of Renewable Energies in Catalonia (PLATER) allocates 1,415.9 megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaic energy and 2,373.2 MW of wind power to the Segrià region by 2050. This assignment ensures the region contributes to the country's overall renewable energy targets.
Anna Camp, Director of the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN), presented the preliminary results of the PLATER to representatives from the 38 municipalities in the region last Thursday afternoon. The current installed or authorized capacity in Segrià already totals 787.9 MW of photovoltaic power and 230.3 MW of wind power, which will count towards the final goal.
Regarding photovoltaic development, the capacity will be distributed across 498,9 MW on buildings, 185,3 MW in artificialized spaces (such as disused quarries or landfills), and 731,6 MW in non-artificialized areas. The total occupation of non-artificialized land for photovoltaic use will be 1,180 hectares, representing only 0.8% of the total land area of the region.
The session also served to inform municipal representatives about the methodology used to develop the PLATER and the tools provided by the Government. This allows municipalities to adjust the initial proposal based on their local reality and preferences.
