Between the three projects, the utility will install more than 210,000 bifacial high-performance modules, according to president and CEO of RWE Renewables Iberia, Robert Navarro.
RWE has had a solar project in operation in Spain since 2020, with a capacity of 44MW, located in the autonomous region of Castile-La Mancha.
During the company’s financial earning for the first half of 2022, RWE said it currently had 4.8GW of projects under construction across the globe and expected to invest a total of €5 billion (US$4.96 billion) into its renewables portfolio by the end of this year.
Among its investments in renewables, the German utility recently partnered with floating solar company SolarDuck to explore the commercialisation of SolarDuck’s offshore floating solar PV technology with a first pilot in the North Sea.
