Plenitude, a company controlled by Eni, has commenced construction of its latest renewable energy venture, the 200MW Entrenúcleos solar project, located across Dos Hermanas and Coria del Río in Seville (Andalusia), with an expected operational date of 2026.
The inauguration ceremony saw attendance by representatives from the Energy Department of the Regional Ministry for Industry, Energy and Mining of the Government of Andalusia, as well as officials from the Dos Hermanas Town Council.

Entrenúcleos solar park consists of four plants: Granville, Killington, Plumlee and Rickwood.
The park will feature 326,000 solar panels over more than 300 hectares.
Each plant will have a capacity of 50 megawatts peak and they will collectively produce more than 435 gigawatt hours annually once fully operational.
The plants will be connected to the grid through the Entrenúcleos SET substation, which will be shared with another developer.

Spanish company Solarig has been contracted to construct this solar park.
“Green steel” – recycled material with a zero-carbon footprint produced entirely within Spain – will be utilised for testing purposes during its development phase.
Plenitude Renewables Spain head of renewables in Western Europe and managing director Mariangiola Mollicone stated: “Entrenúcleos is a landmark project for Plenitude — not only because it contributes to our growth objectives in Spain, but also because it reflects our deep and ongoing commitment to Andalusia, a region that plays a key role in the country’s renewable energy landscape.
“With this project, we now have a portfolio of around 580MW under construction in the region, and we look forward to continuing to invest in sustainable energy solutions that bring long-term value to local communities.”
This project represents Plenitude’s third major investment underway in Andalusia alongside two other plants – Guillena at 230MW and Caparacena at 150MW.
With 1.3GW already installed across Spanish regions including Extremadura, Galicia and Catalonia, Plenitude continues its expansion strategy by developing additional projects totalling more than 2GW at different stages throughout the country.
Government of Andalusia’s Regional Ministry for Industry, Energy and Mining’s Energy Department General Secretary Manuel Larrasa stated: “Renewable energies are the oil that Andalusia never had; they are a golden opportunity for the economic and industrial growth of our land.
“Europe is in the process of decarbonising its industry and this is where Andalusia, with its wealth of natural resources (sun, wind and biomass), has an undisputed leading role. Our key differentiator is our greater availability of reliable energy at competitive prices.”
