Extremadura attracts new cutting-edge renewable energy projects Enagás, Alter Enersun and ENE plan to build photovoltaic power plants and hydrogen and methane generation.

14 Nov 2022

Extremadura New Energies (ENE) and Enalter, a consortium made up of Alter Enersun and Enagás Renovables, a subsidiary of Enagás, will promote two renewable energy projects (a photovoltaic solar plant and another for the production of renewable hydrogen and methane) in Cáceres, in order to supply the energy needs of the lithium processing plant that ENE promotes in the area.

The partnership agreement provides for the creation of 600 jobs in the construction phase and more than 50 jobs in the long term. In a first phase of the development, studies will be carried out to design, evaluate and determine the technical-economic viability of the project, and then make the request for administrative processing of the project with a view to starting construction from 2025.

In a second phase, the photovoltaic solar production and renewable hydrogen and methane production plants will be commissioned, which will come into operation from 2026 and will have an initial useful life of more than 25 years.

The integral development of this project will avoid the emission into the atmosphere of more than 300,000 tons of CO2 per year, contributing to advance in the decarbonization of industrial processes and the development of a "sustainable mining" of lithium.
