Renewables developer Naturgy has placed an order with photovoltaic module producer LONGi to supply its 2024 solar projects in Spain.
LONGi will deliver just over one million modules from its Hi-MO 5 series, with a total output volume of 574MW.
Naturgy plans to install the modules at upcoming projects in four project locations across the country, in the regions of Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura and Andalusia.
The bifacial modules feature a 21.3% efficiency rate, along with LONGi’s gallium-doped technology, which is designed to reduce light-induced degradation and extend the modules’ power generation long-term, particularly important in the high heat and solar irradiance of Spain.
Jorge Barredo, Managing Director of Renewables, New Business and Innovation at Naturgy, said: “The scale of this new agreement with LONGi reflects Naturgy’s ambition for renewables in Spain this year.
“LONGi’s solar technology also offers us an exceptionally efficient and durable performance.
“This is a key factor in building out Spanish photovoltaics and competing with traditional power sources.”
All five projects are expected to receive module shipments this year.
