Plenitude has reached an agreement with BlueFloat Energy and Sener Renewable Investments to join their strategic partnership to advance the development of offshore wind projects in Spain.
The agreement with Plenitude bolsters the JV formed by BlueFloat and Sener Renewable Investments three years ago.
The consortium has a total portfolio of approximately 1.25GW of floating offshore wind projects across Galicia (Parque Nordés), Catalonia (Parc Tramuntana) and the Canary Islands (Parque Tarahal).
In Spain, Plenitude manages 430MW of solar PV and onshore wind power in operation, 1GW of projects under construction, and more than 2GW of schemes in development.
Plenitude chief executive Stefano Goberti said: “Thanks to this agreement, we strengthen our offshore wind portfolio and commitment in the renewables sector in Spain.
“We are glad to start this collaboration with BlueFloat and Sener Renewable Investments to contribute to the country’s energy transition process, through an innovative and high-potential technological solution as floating offshore wind.
“Growth in the renewables sector is central to Plenitude’s strategy, in line with the company’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 and providing decarbonized energy to all its customers.”
BlueFloat Energy chief executive Carlos Martín added: “The agreement with Plenitude strengthens our consortium thanks to their solid track-record in developing and executing renewable energy projects, financial strength, and strong technical capabilities, which are highly complementary to BlueFloat Energy’s expertise in offshore wind and Sener’s engineering competences.
“With Plenitude on board, our projects take a significant step forward while consolidating our leading position in the offshore wind sector in our home market.”
Sener Renewable Investments chief executive Miguel Domingo said: “The three companies share a clear commitment to implement offshore wind projects in Spain in a sustainable and equitable way, seeking their environmental, social, and economical compatibility and integration at the local and regional level.
“With Plenitude we reinforce this commitment.”
