This approval represents a significant step forward for the largest of the four solar projects the company is developing in the province, with a total capacity nearing 400 MW. The resolution, published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), solidifies Jinko Power's presence in Huelva's energy landscape.
The FV La Puebla 3 plant will feature 150.08 MW of installed capacity and 218.56 MW of peak power. The project includes the installation of 306,544 photovoltaic modules, 469 inverters, and 25 transformer stations, spread across an extensive area in western El Andévalo.
The generated energy will be evacuated via an underground medium-voltage network to the La Puebla 3 and 4 booster substation, subsequently connecting to the electrical transmission grid. The authorization granted allows the developer to proceed with project processing, although construction authorization must still be obtained, along with compliance with all technical and environmental conditions.
This complex, named La Puebla, comprises four facilities: FV La Puebla 1 (100 MW), FV La Puebla 2 (80 MW), FV La Puebla 3 (150.08 MW), and FV La Puebla 4 (59 MW), collectively reaching a capacity of almost 400 MW, representing one of the Asian company's largest investments in Spain.
The development of this complex underscores Huelva's role as a recipient of energy transition investments, with a growing portfolio of projects in renewable generation, storage, green hydrogen, and sustainable fuels, driven by land availability and existing infrastructure.
The processing of FV La Puebla 3 has navigated various administrative and environmental procedures, incorporating technical modifications to meet the requirements of competent bodies, thereby clearing a major hurdle for its development.
Jinko Power's investment in Huelva aligns with its international expansion strategy, positioning it as a leading global photovoltaic group and recognizing Andalucía's potential for new renewable installations.
The issuance of this authorization confirms one of the largest planned photovoltaic investments in El Andévalo, solidifying Huelva's status as an emerging energy hub in Spain amidst intensifying European competition for decarbonization-related industrial projects.
