RIC Energy has commenced construction on its first solar power plants in Spain. The projects, named Bluesol 1 and Bluesol 2, are located in Almodóvar del Campo, within the Ciudad Real province.
This development is described by the company as a “historic day,” marking a significant step in its strategic evolution toward becoming an Independent Power Producer (IPP). For more than two decades, RIC Energy has promoted renewable energy development across four continents, with a portfolio exceeding 12,000 MW.
The Bluesol I and II facilities are expected to add over 60 MW of installed capacity to the national grid. This output is projected to be sufficient to supply approximately 150,000 homes annually and avoid the emission of 40,000 tonnes of CO2 contributing to a cleaner and more resilient electricity system.
The move reinforces the company’s commitment to a more sustainable and stable energy model with a positive local impact.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, José Luis Moya, RIC Energy’s Global CEO, emphasised the significance of the undertaking: “The construction of these photovoltaic plants is a milestone for RIC Energy in its transformation to an IPP. After more than 20 years developing projects for third parties, it was time to take the next step.”
The construction phase of the projects is anticipated to generate between 60 and 200 jobs during peak activity. The work will be carried out by GES – Global Energy Services.
RIC Energy concluded its announcement by congratulating the various teams involved in achieving this corporate milestone.
