Iberdrola’s El Escudo Wind Farm Secures Permit for 101 MW Project Reading Time: 1 minutesThe El Escudo wind farm has received approval to continue preliminary construction work after developer Biocantaber, in which Iberdrola España holds a stake, secured the building permit. With a capacity of 101 MW, the wind farm will generate renewable energy equivalent to the annual consumption of 95,300 households and prevent the emission of 45,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. Initial construction work, which has already commenced under Prior Administrative Authorisation (AAP), includes the development of internal access roads, foundations for the future power line, and leveling the land for the substation that will collect the renewable energy produced […] - https://lnkd.in/dQnMa9Xt #windenergy #windturbines #offshorewind #windturbine #cleanenergy #climatechange #sustainability #energynews #smartenergy #windfarm #windindustry #renewableenergy #renewables #europe #iberdrola #renewableenergy #spain #windenergy #windfarm #windturbines

https://lnkd.in/eg4btr_D The Minister of Industry and Tourism, Jordi Hereu, has taken stock of the different PERTEs managed by his department, with a special emphasis on the automotive industry and the decarbonisation of production processes. The Council of Ministers has approved a Royal Decree regulating the direct granting of a subsidy to the company Cobra Solutions for an amount of 150 million euros, for the execution of the Green Cobra project, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. The project aims to develop a complete green hydrogen supply chain in Spain, including the production, storage, transportation and distribution of hydrogen, said the Minister of Industry and Tourism, Jordi Hereu, at the press conference following the Council of Ministers. This project, which will be located in Cartagena and Castellón, is defined by the EU as an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) and, therefore, the RD determines that the reasons that accredit the public, social and economic interest for the granting of this subsidy of 150 million euros are met. The project foresees investments by Cobra of 742 million euros, and is estimated to have an impact on employment of around more than 500 direct jobs, and more than 600 indirect jobs. “We estimate a reduction in CO2 emissions during hydrogen production of one million tons over the life of the project,” according to Hereu.

Mr. Luis Ignacio PARADA has highlighted 🇪🇺 #IPCEI #Hy2Move European Commission approval of ℹ️ Hy2Move, the 4th. #hydrogen IPCEI approved by the Commission, focuses exclusively on specific challenges and objectives that arise for hydrogen technology in #mobility and #transport applications 👉 It was jointly prepared and notified by seven Member States: 🇪🇪Estonia, 🇫🇷France, 🇩🇪Germany, 🇮🇹Italy, 🇳🇱Netherlands, 🇸🇰Slovakia and 🇪🇸Spain. 💰 The Member States will provide up to €1.4 billion in public funding, which is expected to unlock additional €3.3 billion in private investments. 🏢 As part of this IPCEI, 11 companies with activities in one or more Member States, including small and medium-sized enterprises (#SMEs) and start-ups, will undertake 13 innovative projects. 🎯IPCEI Hy2Move will cover a wide part of the hydrogen technology value chain, by supporting the development of a set of technological innovations, including: 🔹The development of mobility and transport applications to integrate hydrogen technologies in transport means (road, maritime and aviation). This includes, for example, fuel cell vehicle platforms for use in buses and trucks. 🔹The development of high-performance fuel cell technologies, which use hydrogen to generate electricity with sufficient power to move ships and locomotives. 🔹The development of next generation on-board storage solutions for hydrogen. For the use in aircraft, lightweight, yet robust hydrogen tanks are necessary ensuring safety and efficiency in flight conditions. 🔹The development of technologies to produce hydrogen for mobility and transport applications, in particular for supplying hydrogen refuelling stations on-site with pressurised, 99.99% pure fuel-cell-grade hydrogen. 👏 IPCEI Hy2Move complements the first three IPCEIs on the hydrogen value chain. 1️⃣The Commission approved IPCEI ‘Hy2Tech' on 15 July 2022, which focuses on the development of hydrogen technologies for end users. 2️⃣IPCEI ‘Hy2Use' was approved on 21 September 2022 and focuses on hydrogen applications in the industrial sector. 3️⃣IPCEI ‘Hy2Infra', approved by the Commission on 15 February 2024, concerns infrastructure investments, which are not covered by the first two IPCEIs. 📆The completion of the overall IPCEI is expected by 2031, with timelines varying in function of the individual projects and the companies involved. Around 3,600 direct jobs are expected to be created, and many more indirect ones. Osama Fawzy Georgy HENEIN, MBA

Wouldn’t it be great to know the #soiling distribution over your entire #solarfield? That’s exactly what we have been working on at @Volateq and proudly present today: The image below shows a soiling map in cell resolution for a #SolarPV power plant in Spain in our Web App. The color scale goes from blue (clean) to red (soiled). A few modules in between have been cleaned for validation purposes before the measurement - can you find them? Dust has been washed to the lowest cell rows and modules in this example leading to mismatch effects that exceed the mere optical soiling effect - we include these effects in our total soiling loss estimate, so that you clearly see the effective production loss caused by soiling. You can use Volateq Soiling Maps for: - improving your monitoring - adding to uncertain point-like soiling sensors - optimizing or quality checking cleaning services - detecting local soiling sources such as unpaved roads ... and even all the above at one and the same time. Let us know if you have other ideas and PM us for more information or to schedule a demo call with our Soiling Experts. #solarenergy #solarpower #solarpv #solarpanel #solarfarm #solarcleaning #pvsoiling

What are the main requirements for power generation units to connect to the Spanish grid? Since 2019, Spain has been a target country for the global renewable market. During the last few years, Spain has been involved in the upgrade of its grid code and customers keep asking us about the latest requirements. Although some manufacturers keep thinking NTS 631 is the only requirement, there are four different requirements in terms of type of installation and grid connection point. 🔸 In terms of installation, in case of Zero injection requirements are RD244.2019 and UNE 217001.2020 🔸 For distribution system connection the requirements are included in the UNE 217002.2020 🔸 For any installation connected to grid in the continental area the requirement is the NTS 631 V2.1 SEPE, review 09/07/2021 with corrigendum 08/10/2021 🔸 And finally, for installations connected to the non-continental grid in Spain, the requirement is the NTS 631 V1.1 SENP, review 09/07/2021 with corrigendum 08/10/2021 Spanish TSO has published the draft to include the requirements for storage systems but at this moment it’s still a draft. If you have any questions, please contact us! #weareULSolutions https://bit.ly/3XP23en
