The government approves the construction of two solar parks in Álava, one in Salvatierra and one in Respaldo
The Official Gazette of the Basque Country published on Thursday that both projects have obtained environmental authorisation. The facilities will have an area of 32 hectares and a power of 20 megawatts.
The Basque Government has grantedthe environmental visa to two projects of photovoltaic parks in Álava, Salvatierra and Respaldo, with a total areaof 32 hectares and a power of 20 megawatts.
The project, called Carnation Solar, will be carried out in the town of Ayala, in the city centre of Respaldo, a park promoted by Ventaja Solar 13, with an area of 10.17 and a power of 6,040 MWp.
The Basque Government has concluded that, 'in view of the characteristics of the area and the activity' and 'taking into account the protective and corrective measures', the project does not foresee a significant negative impact on the environment.
The Government therefore considers this report to be sufficient to undertake the work without the project being subject to regular environmental impact assessment.
The project of thephotovoltaic park of Agurain and Iruraiz-Gauna (Álava) Ubalza has also received environmental approval, although there have been changes since the first draft presented.
In this case it would be a 22.22 hectare plant with a total power of 15.75 MWp. The Basque Government now givesthepromoter a period of 4 years to start the works, which will necessarily include a series of environmental protection measures.
AgurainCity Council refused to install theprojected solar parks in the municipality of on the grounds that it occupied agricultural land of high strategic value .
