The project has received formal approval from the prior Ministry of Sustainable Economy, Productive Sectors, Trade and Labor. With this decision, the company gains an administrative building permit for a photovoltaic power generation facility, along with the evacuation infrastructure needed to move electricity to the grid. A dismantling and land restoration plan for the affected area and environment accompanies the permit, ensuring responsible closure if requirements change in the future.
The investment planned for these facilities, led by Feres Energy, is expected to exceed 4.5 million euros. The plan calls for 22,400 solar modules installed on open ground using a fixed mounting system. The project will route its drainage and electrical connections to the Crevillent substation, integrating the site with the broader energy network while maintaining careful environmental safeguards.
Crevillent will repurpose roofs of 21 public spaces to generate solar power
The project stands out for bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, including former shareholders of Racing de Santander who were part of the company’s leadership until recently. The club was sold to a German group, Sebman Sports International, marking a significant ownership transition that aligns with broader energy and sustainability goals for the community. This collaboration underscores a local commitment to expanding clean energy generation using existing public assets.
To minimize environmental impact during construction, the Ministry required a set of precautionary measures. These include ensuring safe resting habitats for local raptors and implementing purely mechanical cleaning methods to protect soil and water quality, as well as ongoing monitoring to validate environmental performance. The approach emphasizes practical, verifiable steps that balance project progress with ecological stewardship. [attribution: local authorities]
