The Regional Ministry of the Environment of Castile and León has issued a positive environmental impact statement for the project promoted by Ibereólica, according to Diario de Burgos.
The project will be equipped with a 15 MW photovoltaic plant and five large wind turbines (34 MW).
The permit issued by the regional government of Castile and León includes a series of preventive and corrective measures, including the obligation to carry out weekly leak checks at the facility, as it is “a highly volatile, odorless, and colorless gas, as well as extremely flammable,” it emphasizes.
The Ministry of Environment, Housing, and Territorial Planning published the permit in the Official Gazette of Castile and León. It will expire in four years if Ibereólica does not begin construction. The company, which submitted its application three years ago and presented its mega-project as a joint venture two years ago, is working to attract customers to ensure the viability of the investment, estimated at €76 million.
It is estimated that approximately 200 people will be employed during the construction phase of the complex, and 20 people during the operational phase. The plant will be capable of producing between 2,000 and 3,800 tons of green hydrogen per year. This will require 120,000 liters of water per day (43,800 m³ per year), the surplus of which will not be discharged into the network but will be used in evaporation ponds.
