BP Lightsource buys more solar projects in Spain

Purchase of three development projects in Spain follows recent solar expansions in Portugal and Greece

BP’s solar power joint venture Lightsource BP has grown its project pipeline in Spain to more than 3GW with the acquisition of another 703MW from Spain's Grupo Jorge. The latest acquisition consists of three Aragon-based projects, two in Zaragoza of 292MW and 130MW, and a 281MW project in the Huesca province, which Lightsource BP will bring to construction next year. “Building quality and trusted local partnerships is key for our progression across Spain, and we look forward to increasing our investments and activities across the region,” says Lightsource BP’s country head for Spain, Fernando Roger. The Spanish deal forms part of a rapid expansion by Lightsource BP in southern Europe. Last m
