Another 4.76MW project is being developed by Akasaka for €2.6 million (US $2.9 million). The final project is being proposed by Narita International Advisors with a capacity of 4.5MW and and estimated price tag of €2.3 million (US$2.6 million).
All three projects intend to install Canadian Solar modules and will be in Puerto del Rosario to the north-east of Fuerteventura.
Disa Renewables is headquartered on the Canary Islands.
The Canary Islands' energy plan, the ‘Estrategia Energética de Canarias 2015-2025,’ wants to cover 45% of energy needs with renewables by 2045 compared to 8% in 2015.
The news just comes one week after the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) offered grants worth €40 million (US $44.3 million) to 55 small solar projects on another cluster of Spanish islands, the Balearic Islands, with a total capacity of 326MW.
