Spain Launches 935 MW Grid Access Tender for Renewable Energy and Storage
Spain’s Ministry for the Ecological Transition has launched a competitive tender allocating 935 MW of electricity transmission access capacity in Teruel province. The tender will allow renewable energy and battery storage developers to compete for grid connection rights required for new electricity generation and storage investments. The 935 MW allocation concerns transmission access rather than awarded generation capacity or projects already under construction. Successful bidders must subsequently satisfy applicable development, permitting and grid connection requirements. The procurement is intended to make available transmission capacity for qualifying projects in the province. Individual project sizes, investment commitments, storage duration and commercial operation dates have not been specified in the announcement.
GRS Completes 35 MW Corvera Solar Plant with 50,070 Panels in Spain
Spanish engineering contractor GRS has secured provisional acceptance for the 35 MWdc Corvera solar power plant developed for Everwood Capital in Murcia, Spain. The project comprises 50,070 photovoltaic panels across 55 hectares, equipped with PV Hardware’s Monoline+ 2V solar tracking systems. GRS constructed a 30/132 kV step-up substation and associated 132 kV overhead and underground transmission infrastructure. Corvera is GRS’s 40th completed solar project in Spain and its third project for Everwood Capital. Earlier collaborations include the 167 MWdc Carmen solar cluster in Seville and the 50 MWdc Desafio Solar project in Zaragoza. Together, the three developments represent 252 MWdc of solar capacity. Everwood manages a photovoltaic portfolio of approximately 1.1 GWdc.
Salka Energy Secures $17.65 Million for 37.4 MW Cabazon Wind Farm Refurbishment
Salka Energy has secured $17.65 million in financing from X-Caliber Rural affiliate XRA to refurbish its 37.4 MW Cabazon Wind Farm in California. Once refurbished, the project is expected to generate 95,000 MWh annually, supplying more than 15,000 homes and avoiding approximately 41,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. The refurbishment will retain 50 steel towers, foundations and 150 fiberglass blades. Salka also acquired the neighbouring 20 MW Edom Hills wind project in April 2026. Following refurbishment, Edom Hills is expected to produce 50,000 MWh annually. Together, the projects represent 57.4 MW of capacity and projected annual generation of 145,000 MWh. Riverside Public Utilities will purchase Cabazon’s electricity.
