Endesa has connected a new photovoltaic solar farm in the La Redonda industrial park in western Almeria, Spain to the power grid. The photovoltaic plant has a totalled installed capacity of 700KW, which could lead to annual savings in CO2 emissions of 1,170 tons.

An investment of over E4.5 million was made in the project, which is is part of Endesa's strategy to invest in renewable energy, particularly photovoltaic solar energy, as a source of power production, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It also forms part of its commercial policy aimed at the integrated management of energy projects promoted by its customers.

Cecilio Manas, promoter of the solar farm, said: "This type of initiative, which has been undertaken jointly with Endesa Energia, which will provide further support in the future, highlights these companies' commitment to the environment."
