Overview
El Coronil I is a 10.1 MW solar PV plant located in Spain. Operational and contributing to the country's renewable energy capacity.
El Coronil I is a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant located in Spain, with a capacity of 10.1 megawatts (MW). The facility is operational and contributes to Spain's growing renewable energy portfolio. The plant operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has implemented national feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes to support solar PV development. Solar PV plants like El Coronil I play a key role in reducing carbon emissions and diversifying Spain's energy mix. The facility's location in southern Spain benefits from high solar irradiance, maximizing energy generation and supporting local grid stability.
Environmental context
Solar PV plants have a low environmental impact during operation, with no emissions or water use. However, they require land area, which can affect local ecosystems. In Spain, solar farms are often sited on agricultural or marginal lands, balancing energy production with land conservation.
