The Conca de Barberà region is consolidating its role as a key territory in Catalonia's energy transition, with a projected 2,205 MW of installed renewable power by 2050, according to the PLATER.

This figure, which includes 901.7 MW of solar photovoltaic and 1,303.7 MW of onshore wind power, places Conca de Barberà among the top ten Catalan regions facing the highest pressure for clean energy deployment. Only territories such as Segrià, Anoia, or Garrigues surpass this projection.
The most significant growth is expected in the wind sector, with a substantial increase in wind farms and turbines. Solar photovoltaic will also play a prominent role, with projects implemented both on land and in already transformed areas, optimizing territorial use.
The Government of Catalonia plans to present an interactive viewer to municipalities, identifying areas with the greatest potential for new infrastructure, aiming for a consensual deployment with the territories. In this context, the l'Espluga de Francolí City Council has already announced its intention to submit allegations once it has analyzed the potential impacts on its municipal area.
At the regional level, the PLATER projects the installation of nearly 62,000 MW of renewable energy in Catalonia before 2050, with the objective of achieving established decarbonization goals.
