Nuveen’s subsidiary BNZ, a leading developer, builder, and operator of solar photovoltaic projects, has announced the commencement of construction for the Santa Catalina Solar plant in the municipality of Jaén.
The Santa Catalina Solar plant, with a total power capacity of 34.5MW, is expected to be completed by August 2024. This marks BNZ’s fifth plant in Spain, as part of its ambitious plans to install approximately 600 MWp of capacity in the country by 2026. Overall, BNZ aims to deploy a total portfolio exceeding 1.7 GW of solar energy photovoltaics across southern Europe by the end of 2026.
In addition to its commitment to renewable energy development, BNZ is dedicated to environmental preservation. The company will undertake measures to protect birdlife from potential risks associated with electrical installations, including compensation for losses of nesting substrate. Furthermore, BNZ plans to implement natural connections such as biocorridors and install animal shelters to preserve the local fauna.
This initiative highlights BNZ’s commitment to sustainable energy development and environmental stewardship in the region.
