Room He covers his seas with something completely unexpected. It will start GaliciaBut it could continue to expand in other areas. The Galician community is in a strategic place to lead the optimal development of marine energies in Room.
Product of his privileged geographical location, characterized by constant winds and a large coastline, Galicia It is ready to become the epicenter of the energy evolution, especially in the field of wind. The transition to renewable energy sources is already a worldwide priority and is a great opportunity to diversify the economy of this area Room.
The European country is planning to install 3 GW Marine Wind Energy before 2030. A pretentious but achievable objective. In this context, Galicia is able to play a crucial role because of its ports, shipyards and the experience of the maritime industry.
This bet brings the promise with considerable benefits in the economic and working -class context of Galicia. The success or not of marine wind Galicia It is subject to adequate planning, which covers both economic benefits and the preservation of natural resources.
For his eyes, the Galician Zone has a historical opportunity to lead energy innovation in RoomMarking a precedent for a sustainable and prosperous future.
Spain prepares the world’s largest solar energy project
In addition to the great potential for the Wind Energy of the Sea that estimate GaliciaThis area of the northwest of the peninsula is preparing the largest marine energy project in the world. San Enrique Shipyard (Vigo) and Spanish Engineering Bluenewables They have completed a cooperation contract for lifting and implementing the PV forest floating solar prototype (from a Power Megavatio, 1 MW).
The agreement pursues the design, development, construction and creation of a floating photovoltaic platform, especially adapted to the open sea. Your prototype will be installed and tested in waters of the Port of ValenciaThat this will embrace this big initiative.
The total investment of this research and development proposal, whose implementation starts this month is more than 4 million euros and will allow according to 60 employees, according to San Enrique Shipyard And he sent Renewable energetic. It should be noted that the PV-BOS platform is a smoother that will act as support for a roof on which the solar panels are installed.
An important and distinctive project that goes hand in hand with the strategy of ‘green infrastructure’ to tackle the effects of the ‘climate change’ of Galicia.
Spain covers its seas with green energy: it will start with Galicia and will continue for other destinations
Similarly, the project also implies the application of a technical building in which investors and transformers will be installed to prove the result of the prototype and to pour the energy that comes from the network of the Port of Valencia.
Spanish Engineering Bluenewables It will be in charge of all the design and development of the floating solution. Will be the responsibility on your shoulders that the platform meets the regulations imposed on security matters.
San Enrique Shipyard He stated that the installation of this “first prototype” will be carried out in 2026, in the waters of the Port of Valencia.
Renewable energy covers the seas of Spain: Galicia is the starting point
As soon as the electricity grid is installed and connected, a test and experimental phase will start analyzing, validating and improving the adopted technical solutions. When the tests pass, a synthesis of the improvements that are on the green market of the photovoltaic will be performed.
Bluenewables He estimates that the platform will produce around 1500 Megawatt hours per year, which corresponds to the demand for electricity of 500 houses, which enable the omission of 620 tons of CO2 per year. This number is the same that would spread to the atmosphere, a thermal power plant that would like to generate the same amount of electricity burning fossil fuels.
When this initiative is 100% developed and installed, the PV forest is from Valencia It will be the world’s largest marine energy project. It is clear that Room He works hard to cover his seas, starting with Galicia. Only the time will determine whether this expansion will continue or stops. While that answer comes, the Xunta de Galicia gives the OR to the new ‘Climate change office’.
