    Promoter – Financial Intermediary

    NOVASOL INVEST LA ISLA SL

    Location

    Description

    The project concerns the construction and operation of a solar photovoltaic plant with a total capacity of 182.5 MWp located in the municipality of Alcalá de Guadaira, in the province of Seville (Andalusia, Spain). The plant was awarded with a specific regulation as a result of a national competitive auction for renewable energy projects held in July 2017.

    Objectives

    The EIB intermediated financing for this operation is expected to have an important demonstration effect. Indeed, it will be one of the first greenfield solar energy projects to be financed in Spain after the moratorium in 2012 and the new regulatory framework, which came into effect in 2014. Additionally, the present operation will contribute to the achievement of Spain 2020 targets for renewable energy and to the reduction of the CO2 emissions.
