Fundici solar farm energised and commissioned in Spain

The 55MW Fundici solar farm is owned by Encavis AG, who selected Ethical Power as the principal EPC contractor.

Located in the Seville region of Andalusia, Spain, the solar farm was developed by Hive Energy, with design optimisation completed by Ethical Power to improve the efficiency of the plant. In addition to providing full EPC services, Ethical Power also carried out extensive works to connect the solar farm to the 132 kV Fundiciones Caetano substation, including the installation of several pylons along the 9 km cable route.

David Martinez, Country Manager at Ethical Power, commented: “We are delighted to confirm the energisation and commissioning of the Fundici solar farm. This was our first project in Spain, and the scope of work was much greater than a typical solar EPC. This achievement was possible thanks to the hard work and perseverance of our team and the excellent partnership between Ethical Power and Encavis. Fundici represents a significant step forward in Spain’s transition to a greener, more sustainable energy landscape.”

Fundici solar farm, built over 296 acres using almost 89 000 modules, is the first international construction project to be delivered by Ethical Power and incorporates technology such as tracking mounts and advanced N-type solar modules, known for their high efficiency and durability, ensuring long-term performance and maximum energy yield.

The partnership between Ethical Power and Encavis will continue, with Ethical Power carrying out operations and maintenance at Fundici for the next two years after energisation, and the partnership extending to solar projects in Italy as well. Ethical Power Spain has a further pipeline that includes 55 MW of solar photovoltaic projects in the Catalonia region.
