Upgrade of Mejías Photovoltaic Solar Plant in Telde

Project Overview

The company Dama de Bandama S.L. plans to upgrade the Mejías photovoltaic solar plant in Telde, Gran Canaria, by adding battery storage systems.

This project involves:

• Installing two lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery units, each with a capacity of 4.5 MWh, to enhance energy storage capabilities.
• Building a power conversion system with 12 inverters.
• Constructing a substation to manage the increased energy flow, with a total capacity of 2 MW.

This upgrade will transform the existing solar park into a hybrid energy facility that combines solar power with advanced storage, aiming to improve grid stability and facilitate cleaner energy distribution in the region.

Investment and Regulatory Process

• The total investment exceeds 2.59 million euros.
• Plans have been published for public consultation as part of the administrative process required by Canary Islands regulation.
• Interested residents or stakeholders have 30 days from the publication date to view project details and submit comments.

Regional and National Goals
