Hamburg-based solar and wind farm operator Blue Elephant Energy GmbH (BEE) has acquired a PV park with a nominal capacity of 11.7 MWp from the German project developer and long-standing partner F&S solar concept in August 2023. The plant will be built by GOLDBECK SOLAR, a leading provider of turnkey construction of industrial, commercial and large-scale photovoltaic plants.
The park near the municipality of Binissalem on Mallorca has been under construction since mid-December. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned within the third quarter of 2024. Once completed, it is expected to generate around 18,000 MWh of environmentally friendly electricity per year, supplying more than 7,200 households in the region with green energy. This will save around 6,000 tonnes of CO2 per year in the future and further advance the energy transition on Mallorca.
"With its 300 days of sunshine a year, Mallorca is predestined for solar power. Our 12 MWp PV system will make a small contribution to further reducing the island's dependence on fossil fuels," confirms Tim Kallas, Chief Investment Officer of Blue Elephant Energy GmbH. "Together with our experienced partners F&S solar concept and GOLDBECK SOLAR, we are expanding our Iberian portfolio to 262 MW with this project."
Georg Schmiedel, Managing Director of F&S solar concept GmbH, summarises: "Due to its island location, Mallorca faces particular challenges in the energy transition, which we were able to overcome for the project in close coordination with local authorities and community representatives. We are delighted that with the development of the Binissalem solar park, we are not only adding another successful chapter to our long-standing collaboration with Blue Elephant, but also making a sustainable contribution to the local energy transition."
