Solar Photovoltaic Plant Gala

The Gala solar plant is a large-scale photovoltaic installation located in the municipality of La Roca de la Sierra (province of Badajoz, Extremadura). The project was initially designed with 100 MWp and 90 MWn, and obtained its Environmental Impact Statement in 2021, within a joint resolution that evaluated the Gala, Aurea and Gaetana projects and their common evacuation infrastructure to the Carmonita 220/400 kV substation of Red Electrica. Subsequently, it received in 2022 the prior administrative and construction authorization for 90 MW of installed capacity (100 MWp project) and, later, in 2023, a new authorization approving the project modification raising the installed capacity to approximately 120 MWp, with 111.82 MW of administrative installed capacity (inverter capacity) and 100 MW of access and connection capacity.

The project promoter and owner is Gala Sostenible, S.L., which appears as the applicant in the administrative authorization resolutions and in the environmental processing, and which demonstrates the legal, technical and economic-financial capacity for the execution of the plant.

Road access to the plant is via a path reached from the EX-214 highway.
