ROVER completes two solar power plants in Almansa that will supply electricity to 17,600 households.
Rover, an infrastructure development company, together with Opengy, a leader in the management and supply of renewable energy, has completed the construction of Los Crespos and Virgen de Belén, two solar power plants located in Almansa, in the province of Albacete. The facilities are expected to generate 61,379 MWh of electricity annually, which will be fed into the grid, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 17,600 households.
The plants, which are scheduled to enter operation in the second quarter of 2027, comprise 49,840 photovoltaic modules and cover a total area of 60 hectares. Together, they provide nearly 30 MWp of installed capacity, representing a further boost to the development of renewable energy generation in Castilla-La Mancha.
“For Rover, the completion of Los Crespos and Virgen de Belén represents another step forward in our commitment to projects that contribute to the development of sustainable energy infrastructure. The execution of these two solar plants reflects our experience in building renewable energy facilities and our ability to collaborate with specialized partners to deliver projects that expand clean energy generation and create value for the regions in which they are developed,” said Jesús Rubio, General Manager of Rover Energía.
“Projects such as Los Crespos and Virgen de Belén clearly reflect the direction we want to take at Opengy. We are committed to turning the energy transition into tangible projects capable of generating new renewable energy while also contributing to the development of the regions where they are implemented,” said Manuel de Castro, General Manager of Opengy.
Castilla-La Mancha strengthens its position in renewable energy
The completion of these solar power plants takes place in a region that has established itself as one of Spain’s leading hubs for renewable energy development. According to data from the Government of Castilla-La Mancha, the region now exceeds 18,000 MW of installed capacity, of which 87% comes from renewable sources, highlighting the key role these technologies play in the regional energy mix.
In this context, the nearly 30 MWp added by Los Crespos and Virgen de Belén contribute to expanding the region’s renewable energy generation capacity while reinforcing Almansa’s role in this transformation process.
