Solar Photovoltaic Plant Kappa I (Perseo Fotón I and II)

The Kappa complex, located in the municipality of Manzanares (province of Ciudad Real), represents Repsol’s first photovoltaic installation in Spain. It was officially inaugurated on June 21, 2021. On that date, the first two plants of the complex became operational, Perseo Fotón I and Perseo Fotón II, which together have an installed capacity of 90.5 MWp. These two plants are grouped under Kappa I. Subsequently, Perseo Fotón III was built, with another 36.1 MWp (Kappa II).

In total, Kappa reaches 126.6 MWp (the 90.5 MWp of Kappa I and the 36.1 MWp of Kappa II).

The photovoltaic complex is accessed via the CM-3107 road (and is visible from there). It has several access points between kilometers 34 and 36 of the CM-3107. It is located 10 kilometers northeast of Manzanares, in an area surrounded by other photovoltaic plants such as “La Revuelta” or the Manchasol I and II solar thermal plants.

Monocrystalline solar panels of 440 Wp and 445 Wp were used, central inverters of 3.63 MVA and 2.42 MVA, and single-axis dual-row solar trackers. It is equipped with 285,331 solar modules that, according to Repsol, supply electricity to about 71,000 homes (approximately 177,500 people), contributing to avoiding the annual emission of around 107,600 tons of CO₂.

The project involved an investment of nearly 100 million euros.
