Aquila Clean Energy EMEA

At Aquila Clean Energy, we are committed to making a positive and sustainable impact in the regions where we operate. Here are some of the initiatives we have undertaken as part of the development of various projects in Spain.   🌍Environmental education days: We've held educational activities in schools near our solar PV plants in Tabernas, Barcience, El Cuco and Pepino to raise students' awareness of renewable energy and environmental protection. Activities included plant visits and lessons on solar PV energy and local heritage. 📚 Renewable energy training: As part of the development of our Pepino and El Cuco plants, we offered a course on the installation and maintenance of photovoltaic systems. This included practical and theoretical training on solar energy, system components, safety and maintenance. We also worked with the Chambers of Commerce of Toledo and Albacete on entrepreneurship training in the renewable energy sector, and ran an electrical installation course in Tabernas. 💡Visit to the Barcience solar PV plant: Students from the Polytechnic University of Madrid's School of Engineering and Industrial Design visited the Barcience solar PV plant in Toledo. They gained hands-on experience with solar modules, inverters and more, enhancing their understanding of solar PV operations. These initiatives are a key part of our approach to social and environmental engagement in Spain. We focus on environmental protection, stakeholder engagement and value creation for the community. Together, we can build a brighter and more sustainable future! 🌱💡 #AquilaCleanEnergy #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EnvironmentalEducation

📢 We are happy to announce that Aquila Clean Energy has signed a green loan with SEB for the financing of our project "Akemené Two", a wind farm in Lithuania. This wind farm will have an installed capacity of 99MW and is expected to be operational in 2026. This is our second wind park in northern Lithuania and demonstrates our commitment to promoting renewable energy in the region. This project is a step forward in our mission to drive the energy transition and bring affordable, clean energy to European markets. #AquilaCleanEnergy #renewables #energytransition

☀ We are happy to provide an update on the progress of our Nijarmar solar PV project in Andalusia, Spain. With an installed capacity of 25 MW it is expected to be operational in the second half of 2025.   🔋 We are already working on the hybridisation of this solar PV park with the aim of co-locating a BESS system to optimise the use of the interconnection point and provide an additional source of value through services provided to the grid. 🗝 Andalusia is a key region for Aquila Clean Energy in Spain. Its abundant sunshine makes it an ideal location for our renewable energy initiatives. To date, we have successfully brought more than 230 megawatts (MW) into commercial operation in the region and are currently actively working on the development and construction of a further 1.1GW in Andalusia. We bring clean energy to European markets through innovative, technology enabled solutions. #AquilaCleanEnergy #solarPV #BESS #renewables

🔋 Transforming Renewable Energy with BESS 🔋 Aquila Clean Energy is at the forefront of integrating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with renewable energy sources. Our projects, such as the co-located solar PV and BESS in Germany, showcase our dedication to sustainability and innovation. 🌿 The combination of solar PV and BESS in our projects ensures a reliable and efficient energy supply, supporting the transition to a low-carbon future. We are excited to continue expanding our BESS portfolio and driving positive environmental impact. What's the key to a successful BESS project?

🌞 Happy European Solar Day! 🌞 On this brightest and longest day of the year, we're excited to shine a spotlight on our 40 MW solar PV park El Cuco, in Spain. At Aquila Clean Energy, we are committed to harnessing the power of the sun to create a sustainable future.  Once operational, this project will generate enough clean energy to power 19.500 homes per year and avoid the emissions of 19,200 tonnes of CO2 per year into the atmosphere. Join us in celebrating the potential of the sun to power our world and watch our video for a glimpse of the construction progress. #AquilaCleanEnergy #EuropeanSolarDay #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #

As part of our commitment to ESG and to leaving a positive impact in the communities where we operate, we have signed an agreement with the town council of Muelas del Pan, one of the locations where we are currently developing a 100 MW solar PV project in Spain. Through this agreement, we are contributing to the restoration of the Cristo de San Esteban chapel. This landmark is of great importance to the community, and we are pleased to play a part in its preservation. At Aquila Clean Energy we have also been actively involved in various initiatives to promote social development in the region: - 📚 Training activities focused on employment for local residents. - 🌱 Environmental education workshops to raise awareness and promote sustainable practices among children. We believe in creating lasting value and positive impact for the communities we work with.
