Solaria's Ambitious Burgos Solar Expansion to Double Decommissioned Garoña Nuclear Plant's Capacity
Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente has made significant strides in expanding its solar generation capacity in Burgos. The company announced in May 2020 the acquisition of a feasibility report for 695 MW of solar generation at the Barcina-Garoña 400 kV grid node. This follows the decommissioning of the Garoña nuclear power plant in 2023, which had an installed capacity of 466 MW.
Solaria's ambitious plans for Burgos include the construction of four solar plants, with a combined capacity of 594,957 MWp. The company submitted applications for environmental impact statements and prior administrative authorizations in March 2021. Additionally, Solaria has obtained environmental approval for a 780 MWh battery capacity project at its 710 MW Garoña solar complex. This project is being managed by Iberdrola.
The Barcina-Garoña 400 kV grid node is set to receive 695 MW of solar generation capacity, as per Solaria's feasibility report. This significant investment in renewable energy demonstrates the company's commitment to sustainable energy production in the region.
Solaria's plans for Burgos, including the four solar plants and the battery capacity project, are expected to significantly boost the region's renewable energy production. The decommissioned Garoña nuclear power plant's capacity will be more than doubled by these projects. The environmental approval and feasibility report indicate a smooth path forward for Solaria's ambitious solar expansion in Burgos.
