The public-private entity COFIDES has formalized a strategic investment of up to 150 million euros in Summit Platform, a pioneering platform dedicated to the hybridization of renewable energies in EspañaThe operation, carried out using the Fondo de Coinversión (FOCO)It is executed in conjunction with the infrastructure manager Equitix to boost the country's wind, solar and storage capacity.
Strategic alliance for energy sovereignty
La Summit Platform It was born with the ambition to transform the national energy landscape. Through collaboration with local developers such as Capital EnergyThe platform focuses on the development, construction, and operation of assets that combine diverse generation sources. The operational objective is ambitious: to achieve the 1,4 gigawatts (GW) of total capacity for fiscal year 2030.
Currently, the asset portfolio already has a solid foundation of 330 megawatts (MW) in the operation and construction phase. This is in addition to others 200 MW additional ones that are in the development phase, strategically distributed in the autonomous communities of Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha, Aragón y Navarra.
