Spain is one of the first countries to deploy large-scale solar photovoltaics, and is the world leader in concentrated solar power (CSP) production. In 2022, the cumulative total solar power installed was 19.5 GW, of which 17.2 GW were solar PV installations and 2.3 GW were concentrated solar power. In 2016, nearly 8 TWh of electrical power was produced from photovoltaics, and

Talayuela solar project is located in Cáceres, Spain. Credit: Solarcentury. Talayuela solar project is a 300MW photovoltaic (PV) solar park located in Cáceres city in the Extremadura region of Spain. It is one of the biggest solar power plants operating in Europe.
Solarcentury will undertake the project maintenance in addition to holding the stake. Financial closure of the $253m (£194m)-worth Talayuela solar project was achieved in October 2018. The construction of the power plant is expected to be commenced towards the end of 2019, with power transmission to the grid to be achieved by early-2020.
Solarcentury Talayuela Solar PV Park is a ground-mounted solar project which is spread over an area of 520 hectares. The project generates 570GWh electricity and supplies enough clean energy to power 150,000 households, offsetting 165,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year.
Expected to become the biggest PV solar plant in Europe, the project will require an investment of more than €300m ($337m). Other prominent projects in Spain include Solarcentury’s Cerrado Cabrera, El primo Aleman, Hazas de los sesenta, and Los Gonzalez solar farms, and Enel’s Baylio, Dehesa de los Guadalupes, and Furatena power plants.
Encavis, a solar company based in Germany, acquired 80% stake in the project in October 2018, while Solarcentury holds the remaining 20%. Solarcentury will undertake the project maintenance in addition to holding the stake. Financial closure of the $253m (£194m)-worth Talayuela solar project was achieved in October 2018.
