Renewables developer Elawan Energy has closed a €760 million financing on a 1.3GW solar PV, wind and battery energy storage system (BESS) portfolio in Spain.
The Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITECO) has awarded more than €160 million (US$183 million) in funding to 40 clean energy manufacturing projects, three of which are for solar PV.
The deployment of renewable energy capacity in Spain has driven a decoupling from volatile global gas prices, resulting in a 19% reduction in consumer electricity bills.
