In addition to these objectives, both entities seek to develop and promote new talent in these areas, as green jobs will increasingly require more and better specialists. To this end, the company based in A Coruña is committed to financing the different activities planned annually within the framework of this Chair. A four-year development and implementation agreement was signed today by Manuel García, Greenalia’s CEO, and Julio Abalde, UDC’s Headmaster. Both entities have agreed on the common interest of addressing, through this Chair, an issue as important as the energy transition. After all, a paradigm change is unfolding considering the serious international situation due to the war in Ukraine; plus, a summer in which the water resource situation throughout Europe has become critical, high temperatures and large fires have raised all the alarms about the Planet’s health. A situation that requires the implementation of far-reaching measures, for which the contribution of experts and researchers is key. In this context, Manuel García, the company’s CEO explained that “at Greenalia, where green energy and the protection of biodiversity are at our core and origin, we have considered it necessary to go a step further. For this reason, we have formalized a new line of continuous and stable collaboration with researchers, teachers, experts, and students, so that new systems and applications can be developed for a more inclusive, egalitarian, and fair transition”. All this, he added, should serve not only to broaden our knowledge, and activate new proposals and improvements in the different energy developments that are carried out, but also to promote new, more specialized training lines that can respond to the sector needs, which is set to grow in the coming decades. Investment and planning As stated in the agreement, Greenalia foresees a total of 80,000 euros for the Chair, which will be used to carry out activities in the field of training, awareness and the transfer of knowledge and joint research.

    GREENALIA´S VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZE A CLEAN-UP AND JOIN THE CHALLENGE AGAINST “LITTERED NATURE”04/07/22The team visited Miñón Wind Farm (WF), connected in 2019, and cleaned up the surrounding areas. The volunteers also verified the good evolution of the almost 50 specimens of Macaronesian fern that were transplanted during the WF construction process. Greenalia’s volunteers join the challenge against littered nature. With the aim of reducing existing waste in natural areas and green areas, part of the team has moved this morning to the surroundings areas of the Miñón WF (Vimianzo, A Coruña) to clean-up remains that visitors and others threw into the mountain. This action, led by a group of Greenalia’s volunteers, is part of the company’s CSR policy that gives continuity to another series of environmental actions, among which the protection projects of native species such as the centaurea ultreiae and the Macaronesian fern (Dryopteris Guanchica) stand out. In fact, today’s initiative has been carried out near the area in which this last unique species of fern is present, for which Greenalia has launched a special protection program that began with the transplantation of almost fifty specimens located around the wind farm and which will continue with a repopulation project in the environment once new spores are obtained. In the area of Costa da Morte Greenalia also has the project of protection of the flower centaurea ultreia, a work that it carries out in collaboration with the Center of Lourizán and the USC and that began more than a year ago making a first diagnosis of the number of existing specimens....

    GREENALIA ACCELERATES THE PERMITTING PROCESS OF ITS WIND PIPELINE IN SPAIN AND SUBMITS CABANELAS WIND FARM, 18 MW, TO PUBLIC EXHIBITION31/08/22The new project, planned between the municipalities of A Estrada, Cerdedo-Cotobade and Forcarei (Pontevedra, Galicia), contemplates over 14 million euros investment Once in operation, it will generate green energy equivalent to the annual consumption of over 15,000 families and avoid 22,000 tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The renewable energy producer Greenalia continues the permitting process of its wind portfolio in Spain, with a new wind farm now in public exhibition phase, Cabanelas Wind Farm (WF), a 18 MW facility with 4 wind turbines, to be installed in the municipalities of A Estrada (3) and Forcarei (1), Cerdedo-Cotobade is added due to the fact that its where part of the evacuation infrastructure runs. These four wind turbines are 90 meters high and 145 meters rotor in diameter. The Cabanelas WF will produce 61,547 MWh/year of green energy, the equivalent of the annual consumption of over 15,000 families. A figure that will allow to avoid the consumption of more than 38,000 Brent barrels and, therefore, avoid 22,000 tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. With over 14 million euros investment it will contribute with more than 300,000 euros to the municipal coffers through fees and taxes. As stated in the Environmental Impact Study (EIA), annex to the project in the public information phase, the Cabanelas WF will be located outside the Galician Network of Protected Areas and the Natura 2000 Network, including the expansion proposal. Likewise, for the design of the project, the IBA (Important Bird Area) and priority areas of reproduction, feeding, dispersal and local concentration of birds have been excluded, as well as the Biosphere Reserves and the Galician Wetlands Catalogue. This new wind facility will be in a mostly forest and scrub area, so the impact on the natural heritage will be very low and easily revegetated. In its area of influence, no activities or popular festivals are developed so neither the works nor the presence of the wind turbines will affect the celebrations that are traditionally held in the parishes closest to the area, with an additional proposal by the company to paralyze construction work in case it coincides with the celebration of Sabucedo’s Rapa das Bestas to avoid any discomfort. From the landscape perspective, the park is located about 15 km from the Via de la Plata (Way of antiago), so the projected machines will not be visible from this pilgrimage route. Regarding cultural heritage, a couple of archaeological elements were detected for which preventive measures are established so that the area is marked and outside any work area.... Read more...

    GREENALIA SUBMITS TO PUBLIC INFORMATION NEW 75 MW IN TWO NEW WIND FARMS IN SPAIN04/08/22Monteiro and Restelo wind farms are planned in the province of Lugo The 2 Wind Farms (WF), with an execution budget of 60 million, will supply clean energy to power the equivalent of 55,500 households and prevent the emission of almost 90,000 tons of CO2 The renewable energy producer Greenalia advances in its pipeline in Spain with new steps in the processing of two new onshore wind farms, Restelo and Monteiro (Lugo, Galicia), totaling 75 MW. Both projects, with their respective environmental impact studies, are submitted to public exhibition. Restelo Wind Farm (42 MW) plans to install a total of 8 wind turbines in the municipalities of A Fonsagrada, Baleira and Becerreá (Lugo). The 7 machines of 5 MW of unit power and 1 of 2 MW will have 102.5 meters of hub height and 145 of rotor diameter. The evacuation of energy will be carried out by means of a high voltage line that will connect the substation of the PE Restelo with that of the PE of Monteiro to, from there, connect with the national system. In Restelo, with an investment of 34 million euros, protected areas of the Natura 2000 Network and other forms of protection such as wetlands, parks, and nature reserves, among others, have been excluded. Likewise, the actions of the SP do not affect any element included in the Catalogue of Singular Trees. It is far from the designated bird protection areas, the closest being located just over 5 km to the southeast. In reference to cultural heritage, the Environmental Impact Study (EIA) of Restelo includes the existence of several archaeological burial mounds. To avoid any affectation and as the main measure, the design of the wind farm contemplates an exclusion perimeter, which will be duly marked and signposted, so that in that protection area no works can be carried out. For its part, the PE Monteiro (33.6 MW), with a planned investment of more than 25 million euros, will be installed in the municipalities of Baralla, Baleira and Becerreá (Lugo). It will install 8 wind turbines of 4.2 MW, with characteristics of 107 meters of hub height and 150 of rotor diameter. For its location, European protection figures such as Natura 2000 Network, Sites of Community Interest (SCI) and state and regional protection areas have been avoided. No element of cultural interest or that is part of the cultural heritage has been inventoried, neither around action nor in its vicinity. The two wind farms, which will involve an investment of around 60 million euros, will produce green energy equivalent to the consumption of more than 55,000 families and will avoid 90,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. In both cases, preventive measures on landscape integration and fauna and flora are contemplated, identifying the most sensitive areas to avoid potential impacts. Likewise, the Environmental Monitoring Plan establishes corrective actions for revegetation in those areas affected by the execution works.... Read more...

    GREENALIA PROVIDES OVER 1 GW OF GREEN ENERGY TO SPAIN’S ELECTRO-INTENSIVE INDUSTRY THROUGH PPAs22/07/22The agreements signed in the last quarter by the renewable energy company with Alcoa and Showa Denko seek to ensure supply at a fixed price for these electro-intensive companies, which will improve their competitiveness. To this end, the green energy producer based in A Coruña will commission different wind farms in the Autonomous Region and through them invest over 1,000 million euros, dynamize employment and the local economies In the last quarter, Greenalia has signed two PPAs (with Alcoa and Showa Denko) to supply green energy to the industrial facilities of these companies in the Galician Autonomous Region, at a key moment for the electro-intensive industries and other large consumers that need to guarantee a reduction in prices and greater stability of their energy costs in the medium and long term. In the case of Alcoa, the contract includes the supply of energy from renewable sources for Alcoa’s Aluminium Smelter in San Cibrao (Cervo, Lugo) from 2024 until the end of 2033. To assume this commitment, in terms of time and amount of energy to be supplied, Greenalia has selected 29 projects, all of them with grid access and connection in Galicia, with a total capacity of 924 MW. Pursuant to this agreement, the supplying facilities have been designated considering evacuation nodes, which limits the environmental impact and commissioning times. For its part, in the contract with the Japanese Multinational for its industrial facilities in Galicia, Greenalia will supply part of the energy produced in the Orzar and Tornado Wind Farms. These developments are planned in the municipalities of Carballo, Val do Dubra, Tordoia and Trazo. With a capacity of 123 MW, these facilities will result in a competitiveness improvement of Show Denko’s electro-intensive activity. For the implementation of these projects, Greenalia foresees an investment of over 1,000 million euros, while also mobilizing over 4,000 jobs and dynamizing the local economy. With these agreements, Greenalia once again shows its commitment to the territory, a roadmap in which it considers that the involvement of all administrations (local, regional and state) will be necessary so that these projects serve as a driving lever for economic recovery and for the energy transition....

    GREENALIA INVITES SUPPLY CHAIN COMPANIES TO PARTICIPATE IN RFI FOR ITS FIRST FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND FARM IN SPAIN, GOFIO (50 MW)28/06/22A process launched by the Company to gather information on state-of-the-art products and services in the offshore wind market that will also be used to prequalify those companies that would take part in subsequent RFQ/RFP that will lead to final contracts for Gofio floating offshore wind farm (FOWF). This process is launched after Greenalia finished a few months ago a complete geophysical survey in the area of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, where the 50 MW Gofio FOWF is located, with the main objective of obtaining a more detailed information on the seabed characteristics The renewable energy producer Greenalia is advancing in the development of its floating offshore wind projects in the Canary Islands and launches an RFI (Request for Information) focused on the global offshore wind supply chain companies that can provide information on their solutions, products or services that can be applied to floating projects promoted by the renewable energy IPP. In this sense, this RFI process will serve to prequalify those companies that will be part of the subsequent Request for Quotation and Proposal (RFQ/RFP) processes that will lead to final Gofio contracts. This process is launched after Greenalia finished a few months ago a complete geophysical survey in the area of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, where the 50 MW Gofio FOWF is located, with the main objective of obtaining a detailed information on the seabed to support the environmental process as well as to confirm the specific geological conditions of GOFIO´s implementation area, currently the most advanced project in the permitting process of Greenalia´s portfolio in Spain. This information will be part of the documentation of the RFI process to help participating companies to better identify their products and services that are best suited to the characteristics not only of this project (GOFIO), but of the rest of the projects that Greenalia are currently developing in the Canary Islands.  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. 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 expects Gofio Offshore Wind Farm to be the first floating offshore wind farm in Spain and, with this, it will help to advance in the necessary energy transition, which is becoming more urgent after the constant increases in gas prices and the effects of the war in Ukraine, with a high impact on European energy markets. In this respect, Gofio is expected to produce the equivalent of the consumption of 75,000 households, with a net capacity factor of around 60%, a key aspect for the stability of the region’s electricity system....
