In a joint initiative between our Innovation team and Sacyr Water and Energy, we’ve launched a renewable energy project at the Pamasa P3 project in Palma de Mallorca. This initiative will support the asset’s decarbonization and help avoid 20 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
Pamasa operates the 45.2 km highway connecting Palma de Mallorca and Manacor (Balearic Islands), a key transport corridor that plays a vital role in regional connectivity.
The new 32 kWp solar installation at Pamasa includes a 41 kWh battery storage system and two EV charging points. A total of 55 photovoltaic modules will generate approximately 47,021 kWh of renewable electricity each year.
Miguel Bauzá, Operations Director at Sacyr Concesiones, said:"This project reinforces our commitment to renewable energy and sustainable mobility".
Once operational, 42% of Pamasa’s electricity needs will be covered by solar panels, rising to nearly 70% with the addition of battery storage.
Of the total energy generated:
- 42% (19,749 kWh) will be used for direct self-consumption
- 27% (12,696 kWh) will be stored for use at night
- The remaining 31% will be fed into the grid
The project will also save an estimated 2,000 liters of fuel each year thanks to the new EV charging stations.
Driving decarbonization
This is one of nearly 100 initiatives in our Decarbonization Plan, which spans Sacyr’s various business units.
These efforts are coordinated through specialized working groups that promote our climate strategy by tracking both emissions reductions and economic savings across each project.
Other solar installations
At the Turia Highway Control Center in Valencia, we’ve built a 120 kWp solar array using 570 Wp modules and a 100 kW inverter. This setup produces around 170,000 kWh annually — enough to meet 34% of the center’s energy needs.
In Cádiz, at the Aguas del Valle del Guadiaro facility, we installed a 250 kWp solar system with four 50 kW inverters, producing around 390,000 kWh per year and supplying 20% of the site’s energy consumption.
In Santa Cruz de Tenerife, at the Emmasa desalination plant and various water tanks, we’ve deployed multiple solar installations for both individual and shared self-consumption. Combined, they total 900 kWp using 585 Wp modules and a range of inverter sizes.
On Brazil’s RSC-287 highway, we’ve installed five solar power stations that collectively generate nearly 396,000 kWh annually.
Progress from 2020 to 2024
Since our baseline year of 2020, we have:
- Reduced Scope 2 emissions by 28,621 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent
- Generated 4,299 MWh of renewable energy
