BayWa r.e. and the Statkraft have renewed their successful partnership by signing a 12-year power purchase agreement for the Don Rodrigo 2 solar park project.

The new 50MW plant is situated on 162 hectares near Seville, in the south of Spain. It is less than 3km away from the Don Rodrigo solar park. Less than a year after completing Don Rodrigo, BayWa r.e. has begun construction of Don Rodrigo 2. The plant is expected to be completed end of the year. It will generate approximately 100GWh of solar power every year equivalent to the annual consumption of around 30,000 Spanish households.

"With Don Rodrigo 2 we continue to forge ahead with subsidy-free solar in Europe", says Benedikt Ortmann, Global Director of Solar Projects at BayWa r.e. "Soon, we will have delivered yet another proven grid-parity project, as we continue to execute on our existing pipeline in Spain. We're very proud to be leading the way for grid-parity in Spain and Europe. But this is just beginning. We are proactively looking for other projects and developers to work with in Spain and Portugal and are excited about further opportunities for subsidy free projects in Europe – solar power has truly come of age."

"We are proud to continue our cooperation with one of the leading project developers and thus contribute to the further development of renewable assets in Spain" says Hallvard Granheim, Executive Vice President Markets & IT in Statkraft. "We will use the power to foster our leading position in green energy supply to major industrial customers in the Iberian market."
