Sonnedix has started the construction of a 50 MW solar photovoltaic plant, Sonnedix Los Frailes, located in Badajoz, southwest of Spain.
Sonnedix Los Frailes will be built on 111-hectare land, becoming the largest project built by an independent power producer in Spain, where it has operated since 2010. With over 110,000 monocrystalline solar panels, the project will connect through a transmission line to the Vaguadas substation.
Last June 2020, Sonnedix signed a 10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Europe´s largest producer of renewable energy and leading PPA provider Statkraft for the supply of 100 GWh of energy per year.
Once operational, Sonnedix Los Frailes will produce approximately 102,000 MWh per year, capable of powering more than 36,500 homes with clean electricity and avoiding over 24,000 tons of CO2. Sonnedix Los Frailes has been developed in collaboration with Viridi RE group.
