Luxcara and Alpiq have entered into a physical long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for the output of the Spanish solar project El Salobral.
Luxcara, one of the leading asset managers for renewable energy investments, and Alpiq, a pan European energy services provider and electricity producer with Swiss roots, offering customized and digital energy solutions, have entered into a physical long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for the output of the Spanish solar project El Salobral.
The solar project is located in the southern Spanish municipality of Espejo. With a capacity of approximately 45 MWp, the solar plant will provide more than 20,000 households with renewable energy.
"Already back in 2015, we started to focus on projects in grid parity markets and to structure PPAs with reliable offtakers for our wind and solar portfolio. We are happy to now enter into an agreement with Alpiq for this solar project in Spain", says Dr. Philip Sander, Managing Partner of Luxcara.
"Alpiq is strongly committed to the Spanish market for almost 10 years and we have a vocation for growth in Spain, where we remain very close to renewable producers and cogeneration plants offering tailor-made solutions to optimize their revenues and help them manage their risks, and on competitive gas and power supply. This is a very relevant transaction for Alpiq in Spain and we expect that we will be able to expand the collaboration with Luxcara in the future in Spain and in other European countries", says Guillermo Negro, Country Manager of Alpiq in Spain.
At the end of 2017, the solar project El Salobral was acquired by Luxcara for a portfolio for institutional investors. With the solar project Guillena-Salteras, Luxcara added another Spanish solar project to its portfolio in December 2018.
