The company Energías Eólica y Fotovoltaica Canarias is promoting two new photovoltaic plants in Lomo Azules I and II, with a combined capacity of more than 4 megawatts.
The south of Gran Canaria continues to consolidate its position as one of the key centers for the development of renewable energy in the archipelago. The Directorate General of Energy has published the application for administrative authorization and the declaration of public utility for two new solar installations in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, promoted by Energías Eólica y Fotovoltaica Canarias, SL.
With a combined investment exceeding €2,9 million, the "Lomo Azules I" and "Lomo Azules II" photovoltaic plants will have a total capacity of 4,07 megawatts (MW), contributing to the island's goal of decarbonization and energy transition.
Lomo Azules I: 3,08 MW and 2,16 million euros
The most ambitious installation will be Lomo Azules I, with a capacity of 3,08 MW and an estimated budget of €2.168.051,23. The project involves installing more than 6.000 ASTRO 5 Semi solar panels, along with 28 high-performance inverters, three transformer substations, and a 2.826-meter underground evacuation line to the Arguineguín electrical substation (MT Playa_ARG line).
This project will also involve a compulsory expropriation procedure for the affected land, located on plot 96 of polygon 17 of the municipality.
Lomo Azules II: 0,99 MW and 762.664 euros
Just a few meters away, the Lomo Azules II plant will have a capacity of 0,99 MW and a budget of €762.664,46. This plant will include nearly 1.944 solar panels, nine inverters, a transformer substation, and a 2.800-meter underground evacuation line that will connect to the same grid infrastructure as its sister plant.
Both projects utilize cutting-edge technology with ASTRO modules and SMA conversion systems, and also involve public expropriation processes to ensure their execution.
Energy transition underway
The new plants join the growing network of renewable energy facilities being deployed in southern Gran Canaria, an area particularly favorable due to its high solar radiation and availability of rural land.
