The deployment of solar micro-parks in western Castelló is moving forward with a new administrative step. The Generalitat Valenciana has initiated the public information period for two new photovoltaic plants, named La Enramada H1 and La Enramada H2. These installations are promoted by a local firm through its subsidiaries.
The power plants will be located in the Bovalar area, near the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) campus. The projects are almost identical in terms of power and technical configuration, with a total investment nearing 3 million euros and the incorporation of 14,400 solar modules.
Both parks share similar magnitudes, with an installed capacity of 3.63 megawatts (MW) and an access capacity of 3.44 MW, including control systems to limit grid injection. The La Enramada H1 project includes 7,104 panels, while La Enramada H2 slightly increases the number to 7,296 modules, bringing its peak power above 4.3 MW. The installations incorporate prefabricated transformation centers and underground evacuation lines of 20 kilovolts (kV), connected to existing infrastructure in the shared evacuation node of the Enramada area.
The procedure is being processed urgently, as these are plants under 10 MW, which halves the usual public exposure periods. During a fifteen-day period, individuals and entities can submit allegations before the Territorial Industry Service rules on the prior administrative and construction authorization. The documentation includes technical projects, landscape integration studies, dismantling plans, and a list of affected organizations, in line with the regional framework to accelerate the implementation of renewable energies.
These two plants align with the firm's strategy to build a network of medium-sized installations around the capital of La Plana, supported by shared evacuation infrastructure and close to large industrial consumers. The plants are integrated into the La Enramada-Bovalar corridor, where a first plant has already been authorized and up to 12 installations with 36,474 panels are planned, aiming to minimize impacts, utilize agricultural land, and bring production closer to the point of consumption.
