Naturgy has commissioned its first photovoltaic plant in the Region of Murcia. Located in the municipality of Jumilla, the facility has a capacity of 34 MW and will produce 73 GWh of renewable energy per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 21,000 homes. This production will prevent the emission of 46,400 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to taking 19,300 vehicles off the road, and will accelerate the energy transition in the region.

Naturgy and Ence have been the protagonists of the largest energy efficiency operation within the new system of Energy Saving Certificates (CAE) promoted by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.
