Renewable energy company Nadara has started construction on a hybrid solar and wind energy project in Spain, aiming to install over 400 megawatts (MW) of combined capacity across sites in Valladolid and Palencia. The development integrates 205MW of new solar photovoltaic capacity with more than 202MW of existing wind infrastructure.
The initiative marks one of the largest hybrid renewable energy projects currently underway in Spain. Nadara has partnered with engineering firms Grupotec and Voltalia to deliver the construction phase, with operations scheduled to begin in December 2026.
“This hybridisation project underlines Nadara’s growth ambitions in Spain and our commitment to supporting the country’s energy transition,” said Jorge Martinez, Nadara’s Chief Growth Officer. “By bringing together new solar with existing wind capacity, we are creating a model for how renewables can scale faster and with a more efficient use of the National grid infrastructure.”
Once operational, the project will also become Nadara’s largest photovoltaic development in the country. The company has an 18-gigawatt (GW) pipeline across Europe and stated that the project reflects its strategy of converting pipeline capacity into operational assets.
As part of its community engagement strategy, Nadara plans to expand its Sustainable Communities Forum to Spain in 2026. The initiative, first launched in the United Kingdom, aims to engage local stakeholders, promote cultural programs, and support sustainability dialogue.
“Renewable energies, such as wind and photovoltaic, are the driving force behind local progress,” said Heliodoro de la Iglesia Bezos, Mayor of Castromonte in Valladolid. “It is thanks to investment from committed companies that local councils are transforming this energy into quality of life, sustainable development and social and cultural strengthening for their residents.”
Nadara says the project strengthens its position as Europe’s largest independent onshore wind power producer and contributes to the expansion of clean energy infrastructure across the continent.
