The Port Authority of Tarragona (APT) has awarded Cruceni S.L. the preparatory works to install its largest photovoltaic plant on the roofs of the Muelle de Castilla warehouses, involving an investment of 308,120.87 euros.

The works awarded to Cruceni S.L. aim to improve the roofs of warehouses A, B, and C at Muelle de Castilla, where the largest solar installation promoted by the APT to date will be located. This preliminary action, costing €308,120.87 (VAT included), is expected to last two months once construction begins.
The scope of work includes improving the roof envelope, replacing the upper sheeting and the polycarbonate skylights, and general preparation of the entire surface to accommodate the future solar panels. Both this preliminary work and the creation of the photovoltaic plant receive funding from the European Regional Development Fund Operational Program (FEDER).
The Muelle de Castilla warehouses, which currently house workshops and storage facilities for the Port Authority and CEMAPT, have the largest roof surface area of all APT-owned buildings. The new installation, which will require a total investment close to 1 million euros, will cover 4,500 m2 and provide 600 new kW of nominal power (200 kW per warehouse).
The plant will operate under a self-consumption regime with surpluses, covering a significant part of the Port's daily electricity demand and reducing reliance on conventional energy sources. These 600 kW will be added to the 710 kW the Port already produces, raising its total photovoltaic generation capacity to 1.31 MW, thereby increasing its energy self-sufficiency.
