Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Plenitude’s solar park in Spain, Ferrovial’s 116 MWp solar farms in Spain, Brazil’s renewable capacity in June 2025, among others.
Plenitude Begins Construction of 200 MW Solar Park in Spain
Plenitude, a subsidiary of Italian energy company Eni, has started construction on a 200 MW solar photovoltaic park in Badajoz, Spain. The project is expected to be operational by 2026 and will supply electricity to the Spanish grid. The strategy supports Plenitude’s goal of reaching over 7 GW of installed renewable capacity by 2026. Technology focus includes fixed-tilt PV structures and high-efficiency solar modules. Contracts include engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreements with local and international partners. Customer focus is on wholesale electricity markets and potential long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs). Investment figures were not disclosed. Benefits include increased renewable generation, support for Spain’s energy transition, and job creation during the construction phase.
Ferrovial Awarded Contract to Build 116 MWp of Solar Farms in Spain
Spanish infrastructure firm Ferrovial has secured a contract to construct three solar photovoltaic farms totaling 116 MWp in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) deal was awarded by an unnamed international renewable energy developer. Construction is expected to last approximately 10 months. The strategy supports Ferrovial’s expansion into the renewable energy EPC segment. Technology focus includes fixed-tilt structures and high-efficiency solar modules. Customer focus is on utility-scale developers seeking turnkey project delivery. The contract includes installation, commissioning, and grid connection. Investment details were not disclosed. Benefits include additional solar capacity in Spain’s national grid, project execution expertise from Ferrovial, and progress toward regional decarbonization targets.
Brazil Adds 194 MW of New Renewable Capacity in June 2025
Brazil installed 194 MW of new renewable energy capacity in June 2025, according to national electricity regulator Aneel. The additions included 120.4 MW from solar photovoltaic sources, 70 MW from wind, and 3.6 MW from other renewable technologies. These projects span several states, contributing to regional energy diversification. The strategy aligns with Brazil’s long-term goal to expand clean energy and reduce carbon intensity in power generation. Technology focus includes utility-scale solar and onshore wind. Customer focus includes local utilities and grid operators. Contracts covered power generation licensing, grid connection, and renewable energy certifications. Benefits include expanded national clean energy output, enhanced grid stability, and progress toward Brazil’s climate and energy security targets.
Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm Receives First Export Cable Delivery
The Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, a joint venture between Red Rock Power and ESB, has received its first high-voltage export cable delivery. The cable will connect the wind farm, located off the east coast of Scotland, to the UK’s national grid via the onshore substation at Cockenzie, East Lothian. The strategy is to progress construction milestones for the 1.1 GW project, supporting UK offshore wind targets. Contracts include cable manufacturing by Prysmian and installation services. Technology focus is on high-capacity transmission infrastructure for long-distance, high-voltage export. Customer focus includes grid operators and energy buyers. Benefits include improved grid connectivity, energy transition progress, and added capacity from offshore renewables.
