Canary Islands’ Energy Upgrade of Sequero Photovoltaic Solar Plant

Project Overview

The Canary Islands’ energy authorities have announced a significant upgrade to the Sequero photovoltaic solar plant in Telde, Gran Canaria, with the approval of a new energy storage system involving batteries.

Built by Dama de Bandama, S.L., the project includes:

• The installation of two large battery units, each capable of storing 4.5 MWh
• Advanced power conversion technology

This modification aims to:

• Hybridize the existing solar park
• Boost its efficiency and stability

Authorization and Public Consultation

Notably, the project requires formal authorization because it substantially alters the original solar installation.

As part of the process, the public can review:

• The technical and environmental documentation at the Energy Directorate's office or online

The public has:

• 30 days to submit comments or objections

Budget and Broader Context

The upgrade has a budget of over 2.5 million euros.

This project highlights the region’s push toward:

• Cleaner, more resilient energy solutions

It aligns with broader efforts by Spanish authorities to:

• Modernize energy infrastructure
• Promote renewable sources across the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands increasingly serve as:

• A model for sustainable development in Spain
