Spanish Government Announces Public Consultation for New Energy Storage Project in Telde, Gran Canaria

Project Overview

The Spanish government has announced the public consultation for a new energy storage project linked to a solar farm in Telde, Gran Canaria. The project, led by Dama de Bandama, S.L., involves:

• Installing battery systems to create a hybrid solar-energy storage facility.
• Two large lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery units, each capable of storing 4.5 MWh.
• Power conversion and grid interconnection infrastructure.

This modification to the existing solar plant, already authorized for construction, represents a significant upgrade, enabling better integration of renewable energy into the grid.

Administrative Process and Public Participation

• The project requires formal administrative approval.
• There will be a public document review period lasting 30 days to gather community feedback.

Cost and Impact

• Estimated cost is over €2.5 million.
• This development highlights ongoing efforts in the Canary Islands to:
  • Enhance renewable energy capacity and stability.
  • Facilitate cleaner, more reliable power for local residents.

Public participation underscores transparency and community involvement in Spain’s renewable transition.
