The president of the Community, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, highlighted the great bet made by the regional government to promote clean and renewable energies in the region, "which has placed us as the main European and world reference" in this sector.
Valcárcel opened today, accompanied by the Mayor of Fuente Alamo, María Antonia Conesa, the Minister of Sustainable Development, Benito Mercader, and the Minister of Economy, Enterprise and Innovation, Inmaculada García, in the place of the stewards, in Fuente Alamo, Europe's largest photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 26 megawatts (MW), 44 million kilowatt hours annually, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 13,000 homes.
A large installation, which he said, "shows the importance of the Murcia Region in the production of solar energy is that of the 371 megawatts approved for Spain, 299 are produced in our community."
This PV plant, promoted by the business group Asetym installed in an area of 62 hectares, in addition to those already underway in the region and others that is expected to conclude shortly, representing a total of 299 , 15 MW installed.
This will generate through solar energy use enough electricity to power 116,798 homes, generating a great environmental benefits and help prevent climate change by avoiding the emission of 191,456 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The average solar radiation in the autonomous region is equivalent to 1.8 barrels of oil.
In particular, only the park, which opened today in Fuente Alamo prevent the emission per year more than 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
In this sense, the head of the Murcia said: "The Region of Murcia is the large solar plant in Europe, not only by weather but also the optimal environment to both companies and individuals are to make a firm commitment on clean energy and the environment in the region. "
Through the Community, the president said, "are taking all possible facilities to companies in the region want to install renewable energy like solar power."
The regional government through the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Planning, has authorized and 700 solar projects, some already installed and others in the project, with investment of 1.794 million.
Furthermore, these data are particularly relevant if we consider that the central government set a target to reach the 371 MW of solar PV in 2010, since in the Region account for nearly 300, of which 132 are already pouring in network the rest are in the final process.
The photovoltaic plant promoted by the business group in Fuente Alamo Asentyn involves an investment of 200 million euros and has 16,500 fixed structures adapted to the topography.
This solar park features a working electrical substation at 132 kV voltage transformation / 20 kilovolt (kv 132/20).
It is designed to accommodate two transformers of 40 megavoltioamperios each, a total of 80 MVA.
The construction and location of the substation will evacuate the power to produce the photovoltaic park, and medium term will improve the quality of supply in the area, the lines equipped with high voltage output.
Criticisms of the new central government decree
Community President also emphasized that "the great potential of the region in the production of energy from the sun may be threatened by the new decree PV promoted by the Government of the Nation."
"It is contradictory" said Valcarcel, which encourage employers to invest in clean energy and then they limit the possibilities of production, we must call for greater consistency in the Central Government in this regard. "
This decree "stifle an emerging industry in which raw promoting R & D + i, and since the region is supported by pillars match the business growth, and that respects and enhances the environment," said the regional chief executive.
This proposal, said the president Valcárcel, "is generating considerable legal uncertainty among developers, as it provides lower premium production by 35 percent, which is stifling the emerging industry with great prospects on the Murcia Region."
The new Royal Decree limited to 300 MW, 200 for roof and floor 100, the power that can be installed this year, with a 10 MW plant.
These 300 MW per year is divided by quarters (75 per quarter) and force companies that want to install panels to join a registry that will determine the progress of the system.
If the demand for new facilities, from the adoption of the decree, reaches or exceeds the 75 MW planned, premiums will be cut by 2.5 percent, so that "in extreme cases, aid to the generation solar could fall up to 10 percent, "said the president.
In the case of Murcia, this decree could have an impact on cooperatives and 450 million euros and around 4,000 million in investments that no longer be made for not being profitable projects.
Moreover, not only affect the investors in these solar farms, but also the motherboard manufacturers and systems of production, an emerging industrial production and research and development.
