Plenitude has reached an agreement with BlueFloat Energy and Sener Renewable Investments to join their strategic partnership to advance the development of offshore wind projects in Spain. The agreement with Plenitude bolsters the joint venture formed by BlueFloat and Sener Renewable Investments 3 years ago, creating a leading consortium in the offshore wind sector in Spain with a total portfolio of approximately 1.25 GW of floating offshore wind projects across Galicia (Parque Nordés), Catalonia (Parc Tramuntana) and the Canary Islands (Parque Tarahal).
Plenitude shares the unique portfolio development approach consistently applied by BlueFloat Energy and Sener Renewable Investments, which aspires to carefully integrate environmental and social considerations in the project design and embed the projects within the local communities. In Spain, Plenitude manages 430 MW of solar PV and onshore wind power in operation, 1 GW of projects that are under construction, and more than 2 GW of projects in development. The company also manages a network of electric car charging points and provides electricity and energy services to over 300 thousand customers in the country.
Plenitude operates in 15 countries, with a portfolio of around 3 GW of renewable capacity in operations, an objective of 7 GW capacity expected to be in place by 2026 and more than 15 GW by 2030.
Stefano Goberti, CEO of Plenitude, said: 'Thanks to this agreement, we strengthen our offshore wind portfolio and commitment in the renewables sector in Spain. We are glad to start this collaboration with BlueFloat and Sener Renewable Investments to contribute to the country's energy transition process, through an innovative and high-potential technological solution as floating offshore wind.
