Ethical Power has commissioned a 55MW solar farm in Spain.
The Fundici solar farm (pictured) is owned by Encavis AG, who selected Ethical Power as the principal EPC contractor.
Located in the Seville region of Andalusia, the solar farm was developed by Hive Energy, with design optimisation completed by Ethical Power to improve the efficiency of the plant.
In addition to providing full EPC services, Ethical Power also carried out extensive works to connect the solar farm to the 132kV Fundiciones Caetano substation, including the installation of several pylons along the 9km cable route.
“We are delighted to confirm the successful energisation and commissioning of the Fundici solar farm,” said David Martinez, country manager at Ethical Power Spain.
“This was our first project in Spain, and the scope of work was much greater than your typical solar EPC.
“This achievement was possible thanks to the hard work and perseverance of our team and the excellent partnership between Ethical Power and Encavis.
“Fundici represents a significant step forward in Spain’s transition to a greener, more sustainable energy landscape.”
Fundici solar farm, built over 296 acres using almost 89,000 modules, is the first international construction project to be delivered by Ethical Power.
It incorporates technology such as tracking mounts and advanced N-type solar modules, known for their high efficiency and durability, ensuring long-term performance and maximum energy yield.
The partnership between Ethical Power and Encavis will continue, with Ethical Power carrying out operations and maintenance at Fundici for the next two years after energisation, and the partnership extending to solar projects in Italy as well.
Ethical Power Spain has a further pipeline that includes 55MW of solar PV projects in the Catalonia region.
