R Power has been awarded a large-scale PV farm project with a capacity of 65MWp, located in Ciudad Real in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain.
The photovoltaic farm, situated on a 90-hectare site, will generate energy using bifacial panels and single-axis tracking systems (solar trackers), which will significantly increase energy yields compared to traditional PV systems, R Power said.
The total number of panels used will exceed 100,000, and the annual energy production is expected to surpass 130GWh.
The energy will be sold under market-based PPAs and the project is expected to reach the Ready-to-Build (RTB) phase by 2026.
Ismael Martin Cilla, head of Iberia & LatAm at R Power, said: “Due to its excellent climatic conditions, Spain is one of the most important markets for the entire European photovoltaic sector.
“As R Power, we plan intensive growth here.
“The Ciudad Real farm is our flagship large-scale PV project. Thanks to advanced technical solutions, we aim to achieve an output of 2024 MWh/MWp, which is one of the best results in Europe.”
