Negratín energizes and connects the “Virgen del Rosario” solar PV plant to the grid, reinforcing its position as a leader in complex renewable energy projects

The new photovoltaic plant, located in Motril (Granada), has an installed capacity of 29.99 MWp and will supply clean energy to more than 16,500 households.

The company has completed the key commissioning phase and strengthens its position in the Spanish market, with a particular focus on Andalusia.

Grupo Negratín, a global company specialized in end‑to‑end energy solutions, has energized and connected to the grid the “Virgen del Rosario” photovoltaic plant, a 29.99 MWp project located in Motril (Granada). The project is now moving towards full operation after completing its commissioning phase — a technical milestone that demonstrates on‑schedule delivery and the company’s strong capability to execute renewable projects in complex environments.

Construction of the plant, initiated one year ago, required advanced planning and tailored engineering solutions due to the irregularity of the terrain. To address these challenges, the project incorporated 1,424 nationally manufactured monopile structures designed to support the installation of 42,720 solar modules, ensuring stability and maximum energy capture efficiency even under demanding site conditions.

Energy evacuation is carried out through a 9.2‑kilometer transmission line that includes a 786‑meter underground section specially designed to protect the surrounding greenhouse areas, followed by an overhead stretch that crosses key infrastructures such as the A‑7 Mediterranean motorway.

The completion of this project strengthens Negratín’s positioning as a strategic partner for high‑value renewable EPC projects and reinforces its commitment to the Spanish market, particularly in Andalusia, where the project contributes to local economic activity and supports the region’s industrial and energy ecosystem.

The plant will generate clean electricity for more than 16,500 households and avoid nearly 29,000 tons of CO₂ emissions per year — a reduction that will contribute to improved air quality and to advancing Andalusia’s decarbonization goals.

Maximizing energy performance

“Negratín responds to the challenges of each site with efficient, tailored solutions supported by robust in‑house engineering capabilities and a customer‑centric operating model,” highlights Celedonio Noguera, Executive Vice President of Negratín Group.

David Torrego, Energy & Installations Managing Director, adds: “We have applied knowledge gained throughout our international trajectory to adapt our energy solutions to a technically demanding site. This project also represents our commitment to creating a positive impact on the environment and on the local economy.”
