Solaria secures environmental approval for an additional 480 MWh of battery storage in Spain and strengthens its leadership in energy storage

–       The company now has 3,280 MWh of storage capacity with favourable environmental impact statements, consolidating its strategy of combining solar power with battery storage

 

Madrid, 16 March 2026Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente has obtained favourable environmental impact statements (EIS) for the installation of 480 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) associated with seven photovoltaic plants located in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain).

 

These authorisations enable progress in the hybridisation of existing renewable energy facilities, optimising the use of the electricity infrastructure and increasing the flexibility of the energy system.

 

With these new approvals, Solaria now has a total of 3,280 MWh of storage capacity with environmental approval, consolidating its position as one of the most advanced developers in energy storage in southern Europe.

 

The development of BESS systems forms part of Solaria’s strategy to integrate renewable generation, storage and electricity infrastructure, with the aim of improving the manageability of renewable energy, optimising participation in electricity markets and facilitating the integration of greater renewable capacity into the grid.

 

The company is thus continuing to implement its strategic growth plan, which envisages significant expansion in energy storage in Spain and other European markets – a key element in ensuring the stability of the electricity system against a backdrop of increasing electrification of the economy and rising energy demand linked to industry and digital infrastructure.
