improvisation buy renewable energy of the group Ardian up to €650 million to boost its ‘green’ portfolioAs announced by the company on Tuesday. the package consists 422 megawatts (MW) spread across 12 wind farms It operates in Spain.
The agreement also envisions solar hybridizations (with other technologies) of up to 435 MW, most of which will be operational by 2025, and the possibility of re-strengthening the acquired portfolio of wind farms that end their useful life in an average of 16 years.
Currently, the company has 88 renewable energy projects totaling 2,300 MW in operation26 operational projects Castile and Leon; 16 in Castilla-La Mancha; 17 in Galicia; 6 in Andalusia and 4 in Catalonia. Also this is 2023 will add thirty wind farms and photovoltaic plants The equivalent of more than 1,000 MW of additional capacity is under construction, expected to be operational before the end of 2024.
This Ardian parks location matches with areas where the company has other projects currently in operation. Specifically, there are five parks. Castile and LeonFly Castile la Manchatwo CataloniaOne Galicia and another Andalusia.

for 2.300 MW operational and 1,000 MW We should add 18 projects in total, planning to launch this year. Over 1,300 MW of power Number of projects for which the company received a positive Environmental Impact Statement (DIA) a few weeks ago. Projects with a positive environmental permit stand out, among others, eight wind farms in Galicia, as well as a photovoltaic power plant. Arañuelo Field (300 MW) in Extremadura, which will be the largest solar plant the company has built in Spain.
Outside of Spain, more than one 3,000 MW of renewable energy in operation. One of the priority countries for renewable development is Australia, where the group aims to reach 2,200 MW of wind, photovoltaic and storage technology installed capacity by 2025. Naturgy commissioned its first worldwide battery storage facility in February.
