Iberdrola is moving forward with its renewable strategy in Castile-La Mancha by commissioning its first photovoltaic plant in this autonomous region. The Barcience plant in Bargas, Toledo, has 144,900 modules and an installed power of 50 MW. The plant will produce clean energy for the equivalent of 24,700 homes per year and will prevent the emission of 15,000 tons of CO2 per year into the atmosphere. The project included numerous national suppliers, such as Arteche, FCC-Abengoa, Mesa, Siemsa, Garoc and Reneergy and 250 workers were involved in the construction stage.
The construction process had to deal with harsh conditions, such as Storm Filomena which swept through the centre of the country, however, everything was finished on time. Freezing temperatures formed a layer of ice at the highest part of the solar farm, covering both the land and the infrastructure, and it took two rainstorms to melt the ice.
