Using a Franco law from 1954 in 2022, the General Directorate of Energy (of the La Gomera party of Casimiro Curbelo) has called for this October the preparation of minutes prior to the occupation and the formalization of occupation minutes in the forced expropriation procedure for the execution of the project for the Lopesan I photovoltaic solar plant installation, of 4,65 MW, in San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
The procedure has been going on since November 2021, with private resources mobilized against it, but they have declared the project of general interest and since the Maspalomas Resort project has been declared of public utility, the forced occupation is impossible to stop. Those affected are the company Europalma 2005 (Rafael Saez Moreno), Maspalomas Golf (owned by Lopesan itself), Manuel Pestana Viera, Endesa and the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council itself.
The declaration of public utility implies, in any case, the occupation of the assets or the acquisition of the affected rights and implies the urgent occupation of the same, for the purposes of the provisions of article 52 of the Law of Forced Expropriation of December 16, 1954.
