The latest renewable energy news includes announcements on Octopus, Zelestra, ContourGlobal’s solar photovoltaic park in the US, among others.
Octopus Invests in 600MW Spanish Renewables Trio
Octopus Energy Generation, through its Sky fund, has acquired a 600MW portfolio of solar and wind projects in Spain from developer FF Ventures. The portfolio includes two solar PV farms and one onshore wind farm at advanced development stages, expected to be operational by 2027. Octopus plans to accelerate construction and grid connection, strengthening its Iberian renewable footprint. The investment aligns with Spain’s 2030 renewable goals and supports Europe’s energy transition by diversifying supply and boosting security. The projects will generate enough clean electricity to power nearly 400,000 homes annually, reducing carbon emissions significantly. Octopus, already active in Spain with several solar deals, is expanding its European strategy with a focus on scalable, long-term green infrastructure.
Zelestra Powers Up Spanish Solar Plant
Spanish renewable energy company Zelestra has commenced operations at its new 87MW solar photovoltaic plant in Spain. The project, located in Castilla-La Mancha, is expected to produce enough clean electricity to supply around 50,000 homes annually, significantly cutting CO₂ emissions. Built with advanced solar module technology, the plant will enhance Spain’s renewable generation capacity and contribute to the EU’s decarbonisation targets. Zelestra emphasises sustainability and efficiency, integrating local community engagement and environmental protection into the project. The plant strengthens Zelestra’s growing renewable portfolio and underlines Spain’s position as a leading European solar hub. With supportive regulation and rising demand for clean energy, the facility marks a key milestone in the company’s long-term green growth strategy.
ContourGlobal Powers Up 185MWp US Solar Park
ContourGlobal has inaugurated a 185MWp solar photovoltaic park in the US, expanding its North American renewable footprint. The facility, built with high-efficiency PV modules and advanced grid integration systems, will generate enough clean energy to power approximately 50,000 households annually. The project reinforces the company’s strategy of diversifying its energy portfolio and accelerating the transition to low-carbon power. Supported by long-term power purchase agreements, the solar park ensures stable returns while delivering significant carbon reduction. ContourGlobal highlights innovation in project execution, sustainable land use, and reliable clean energy supply as key benefits. This development strengthens the firm’s role in the US renewable energy sector while aligning with wider decarbonisation and energy security goals.
