- Zelestra has commissioned the 162MW Belinchón I, II, and III solar projects in Spain.
- The projects support industrial decarbonisation and will cut over 42,700 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
Zelestra has commissioned the 162MW Belinchón I, II, and III solar projects in Cuenca, Spain. The development strengthens the country’s renewable energy capacity. The company completed the projects in under 14 months. Its in-house engineering, procurement, and construction team handled delivery.
During construction, the projects supported around 400 jobs. As a result, they contributed to local economic activity.
Zelestra backed the solar cluster with a long-term multi-buyer power purchase agreement. It arranged the agreement through the Energize programme to support decarbonisation in the pharmaceutical sector.
The three plants include 275,000 solar modules. These modules operate on single-axis tracker systems to maximise energy output. The projects will reduce carbon emissions significantly. They are expected to avoid more than 42,700 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Luis Alvargonzalez, Zelestra’s Country Manager in Spain, said the project marks a key milestone for the company.
He said, “The Belinchón cluster is a significant new addition to our global portfolio of operational projects and it’s also a major project supporting Spain’s clean energy transition. It is a strong example of how we deliver projects quickly and efficiently.
“It also demonstrates how we are supporting industrial decarbonization, and I am proud of the positive impact Belinchón will deliver for the pharmaceutical sector across Spain and wider in Europe.”
Zelestra continues to expand its presence in Spain’s clean energy market. The company currently has 1.1 gigawatts of contracted multi-technology projects.
In addition, its development pipeline exceeds 7 gigawatts. This positions the company for further growth in the European renewable energy sector.
