    GREENALIA LEAPS FORWARD IN ITS TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW DIGITAL PLATFORMS FOR BIOMASS AND HR OPERATIONS27/01/22The renewable energy producer has completed the implementation of a new HR Management System, which reduces the administrative burden by 80% In Biomass Supply Operations, success in digitalization progress has also been achieved, via a mobility platform for biomass management. Greenalia advances in its commitment to renewables production, an activity that it also carries out with a firm commitment to both digitalization and sustainability, two areas in which it is constantly making progress to face market challenges. In this context, new biomass control systems have been incorporated, with a new mobility application for field operations, and also Talent and HR Management systems (SAP SuccessFactors). In the first case, the improvement of biomass production control has been carried out with SAP technology where the Seidor has acted as implementation partner leveraging its company specific know-how acquired in different collaboration projects successfully carried out since 2016. Thus, the selected platform works with BTP technology, incorporates data analysis, and allows working offline in those rural areas that do not have coverage, synchronizing the information once the network is recovered. This tool allows the company to record both production and maintenance processes. Its use has made it possible to eliminate paper (about 13,000 job reports per year), minimize possible errors in the data and generate operational optimizations from the beginning of the project. All this has resulted in better results of the Biomass Supply division and in obtaining an award in the 12th edition of the SAP Quality Awards, in the Digital Pioneers section.  Talent management Evolving according to the new sustainability and operations indicators, requires a different HR management model. That is why Greenalia has selected SAP SuccessFactors system as Talent Management platform advancing in the digitalization and transformation its HR processes. A solution that provides an optimal employee experience and facilitates deployment, adoption, and change management. An optimization and organizational development project, developed together with Minsait as technological partner, which has allowed for an 80% reduction in administrative and management burden assumed by professionals, achieving greater efficiencies in Talent Management. To this is added the reduction of paper by becoming telematic many processes, an objective to which Greenalia is strongly committed. The system allows people and teams to gain more control of their data, reduces processing times, optimizes HR processes via automation and productivity increases. In this way, a collaborative and secure solution is implemented that allows the company to manage more effectively and openly the data of its professionals, which will be shared between the different structures of the company to achieve a much more productive and solvent system with the growth needs of the company....

    GREENALIA OBTAINS SURE SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION FOR ITS CURTIS-TEIXEIRO BIOMASS PLANT IN SPAIN30/12/21The company advances in its environmental commitment, strengthening sustainability throughout the value chain and anticipating compliance with new EU Regulations Greenalia, renewable energy IPP, has successfully completed the audit process to obtain the SURE certification, which guarantees the sustainability of the forestry biomass supplied for consumption in the renewable energy facility that the company has in the town of Teixeiro-Curtis (A Coruña). This Plant consumes raw material sourced mainly from operations residue (branches and bark) generated by forestry companies through their operations in the Galician community. With this step, carried out with certifier GFA Certification GmbH and the Galician engineering company Cerna, the company anticipates compliance with new sustainability requirements set by the Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2018/2001 (REDII), European regulation that establishes various criteria that all biomasses used in the bioenergy sector must meet. All of which are focused on guaranteeing sustainability, correct mass balance, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promoting energy efficiency. Galicia is the ninth largest forest potential in Europe. Annually, they cut almost 10 million tons of wood that generate more than 2 million tons of forest waste. In that sense, the new Forest Plan of Galicia aims to increase the volume of annual cuts to 12 million tons in 2040, which will generate almost 4 million tons of residual biomass. The Curtis-Teixeiro biomass plant has an installed capacity of 50 MW, which places it among the largest in Europe. It stands on a plot of 100,000 m2 and can treat half a million tons of residual forest biomass per year, thus producing renewable energy equivalent to the energy consumption of the city of A Coruña. Since its launch, it has allowed, in addition to the generation of renewable energy at a regulated price, the cleaning of a large part of the Galician mountains, contributing to reduce the risks of fires and forest pests. For the entire biomass collection process, Greenalia has 40 packing machines.  Thus, the operation of the plant has allowed the creation of 200 jobs in the rural environment of the facility in Galicia. About Sure SURE is a voluntary biomass sustainability certification system developed by REDcert (German company with experience in biofuel sustainability certification) and Bioenergy Europe (the European bioenergy association, with extensive knowledge in the biomass market and in managing certifications). SURE offers a practical solution to all agents operating within the bioenergy sector and who need to meet the requirements imposed by the new European Renewable Energy Directive (EU 2018/2001 REDII)....

The company has made public through the corresponding relevant event published by BME Growth, that Banco Santander acted as the transaction coordinator and lead arranger and jointly with Banca March as transaction dealers. With this transaction, the second green promissory note program in the Spanish market, Greenalia advances on the green financing path, consolidating its position as a pioneer SME in this type of green financial sourcing, a framework in which it has issued four bonds, the last one being a 55 million euros one in December 2020 in Spain, rated with the highest score by Standard &  Poor’s rating agency. The previous three were operated in Luxembourg. Greenalia continues its business development and financial closing, operating within the framework of Green Bond principles promoted by the International Capital  Market  Association (ICMA) and the  Loan Market Association (LMA), organizations that promote development of new ESG (environmental, social & governance) aligned financial practices, aimed at promoting green, environmentally and socially beneficial projects.  All this is also in a framework of increasing transparency and good corporate citizenship principles. This corporate move is added to the 15 million euros capital increase made two weeks ago by the company. Both transactions are part of the expansion plan in which the Coruña company is immersed that includes a diversified and solid pipeline in five technologies (onshore and offshore wind, solar, storage and biomass) both in Spain and the USA. Green Assessment In line with its ESG Policy Book and its Good Governance Manual, Greenalia has submitted its green financing program to a third-party evaluation by Sustainalytics (Morningstar), a leading rating agency for green financing, which has considered that the company’s projects can contribute to the energy transition process in Spain. In this line, the report issued by this independent international agency ratifies that the company’s financial program “is robust, transparent and aligned with the company’s overall sustainability strategy, while contributing to the advancement of Sustainable Development Goal 7 of the United Nations, which includes access to affordable energy, safe, sustainable and modern for all.” Closing higher in 2021 As the company shared in its financial results presentation, the year-end forecasts are positive, with an estimated Ebitda above 32 million euros, well above the 24 million contemplated for this year in the company’s Strategic Plan, which was presented at its debut in the Alternative Market in 2017....

    GREENALIA´S 50 MW FONSANTA WIND FARM IN SPAIN NOW IN PUBLIC EXHIBITION PHASE19/05/22Fonsanta will developed in the municipalities of Bande and Verea (Ourense, Galicia) The project foresees over 41 million euros investment and over 500 jobs mobilized The operating wind farm allows for a 600 tCO2 reduction in atmospheric emissions Greenalia continues to develop its project portfolio. 50 MW Fonsanta WF achieves a new milestone today in Bande and Verea Municipalities, in the province of Ourense (Spain) as published in the Official Gazette. Fonsanta is composed of 12 wind turbines that will be installed within O Vieiro zone, part of the Galician Wind Sectorial Plan. The project guarantees the environmental protection and technical viability of the project as detailed in the published proposal and the corresponding technical assessments and reports. This 50 MW WF will have a production capacity of 153,163 MWh/year, equivalent to the consumption of 43,480 families and generating a reduction of 56,670 tons of CO2 atmospheric emissions. The wind turbines have a 4.2 MW unit power, with the exception of one of 3.8 MW, a 112 meters hub height of 112 and a 150 meters rotor diameter. The total investment adds up to 41 million euros and over 650.000 euros will go to local administrations through fees and taxes.  It will not affect areas protected by the Galician Network of Protected Areas and the Natura 2000 Network. Likewise, the areas included in the Galician Catalogue of Wetlands have also been excluded. Its location is also outside bird protection areas (IBAs). In avifauna terms, the study shows that ornithological interest is limited due to the low number located over months. Likewise, no specific migratory corridor has been detected. In any case, to avoid possible collisions that may occur, a series of preventive measures are established. Thus, the possibility of painting a blade in black on each wind turbine is foreseen, an aspect that has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of collision. Regarding cultural heritage, the study reflects the compatibility of the installation. As a preventive measure, a clearing is established prior to the constructive and prospecting actions on areas currently covered with weeds and vegetation to verify the possible existence or not of cultural assets, beyond the cartographic analyses. Finally, a package of environmental measures is introduced, including a restoration plan over 13.290 m2.... Read more...

    GREENALIA COMPLETES A GEOPHYSICAL CAMPAIGN FOR ITS FIRST FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND FARM IN SPAIN, GOFIO, OF 50 MW11/05/22This technical study, prepared by the canary company ECOS, will allow progress in the detailed design of the floating structures Thus, the company confirms its commitment to the development of floating offshore wind, one of the technologies for which greater growth is expected in the coming years. The renewable energy producer Greenalia is advancing in the development of its floating offshore wind projects in the Canary Islands, with the recent execution of a complete geophysical campaign in San Bartolomé de Tirajana where it plans to locate the PE Gofio, of 50 MW. The main objective of this action is to obtain a more detailed knowledge of the conditions of the seabed where this primer floating offshore wind farm will be implemented. In this way you will be able to advance with greater precision in the design processes of the floating structures and the project certification. The results of this campaign have confirmed the analysis carried out within the Environmental Impact Study (EIA), prepared in 2020, and has also allowed to obtain a greater knowledge of the biodiversity of the seabed. These works show the compatibility with the environment and the reduced environmental impact that the project could generate. The study has been developed over two months in which a bathymetric and morphological survey of the seabed of great precision has been carried out, which has allowed to advance in in-depth analysis of the benthic communities (the different aquatic ecosystems) and underwater archaeology. For this, it has had the additional support of an underwater ROV, in addition to the characterization of the marine substrates using an underwater research system, type Geopulse. This award is part of the collaboration agreement that Greenalia signed last year with the Canary Islands Maritime Cluster (of which ECOS is a partner). An agreement through which to share experience and knowledge on offshore wind energy, especially on floating wind energy. With this new step, Greenalia once again confirms its commitment to the development of its floating wind energy projects, one of the renewable generation sources called to be the basis of green growth in Europe for the coming years....

    GREENALIA ADVANCES ITS PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT IN SPAIN WITH 106 MW LEVANTE WIND FARM NOW IN PUBLIC EXHIBITION PHASE25/04/22Levante Wind Farm with 19 wind turbines is projected in As Nogais, Becerreá and Triacastela municipalities in Lugo, Spain The project, with an execution budget of over 77 million euros, foresees to mobilize 1,000 jobs It’s impact on the local coffers is estimated in 3 million euros, through fees and taxes Greenalia advances in its pipeline development in Spain and a new Wind Farm (WF) begins its public exhibition phase. Levante WF, of 106.4 MW will be installed in the municipalities of As Nogais, Becerreá and Triacastela (Lugo, Galicia, Spain). The clean wind energy production will avoid the consumption of over 28,000 tons of oil, as well as the emission of more than 121,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, with the resulting environmental benefits. In this way, the equivalent of over 82,000 families can be supplied through renewable sources. This 106,4 MW WF will have 19 wind turbines, with 127.5 meters hub height and 145 meters of rotor diameter. In total, this installation will mean a 77 million euros investment. The selected project will not affect areas protected by the Galician Network of Protected Areas and the Natura 2000 Network. Likewise, the area included in the proposal for the Extension of the Natura 2000 Network and the areas included in the Galician Catalogue of Wetlands have also been excluded. Its location is also outside bird protection areas (IBAs). The WF location has been set considering its compatibility with Cultural Heritage elements. The LAT evacuation crosses on one occasion the Way of Santiago (North-Interior route). However, in this section it has been decided to bury that part of the line, thus minimizing the possible impact. In terms of avifauna, the appropriate studies have been carried out, not appearing in the area any specific migratory corridor, so it is not foreseen to affect in this regard. The necessary measures will be carried out to minimize the risk of introduction of invasive species, including in the environmental monitoring and surveillance program the early detection of the possible presence of non-native species.  Likewise, it is proposed to plant 24,000 m2 of hardwoods in an area to be agreed with the regional administration.  ...
