Naturgy and the Lecta Group have signed a renewable gas supply agreement that will facilitate the efficient decarbonisation of the industrial group's activity. Biomethane, a renewable gas obtained from the treatment of different types of waste with qualities similar to those of natural gas, will be used by Lecta's production centres located in Leitza (Navarra) and Zaragoza. This is the second major industrial agreement for the sale of biomethane by Naturgy after the one signed last January with Inditex.
Naturgy leads the promotion of the energy transition in the Canary Islands with the inauguration of five new photovoltaic plants in the municipality of Agüimes (Gran Canaria). The entry into operation of these facilities brings the Group's renewable energy capacity in the region to 136 MW, which represents an annual production capacity of around 380 GWh, equivalent to the consumption of 116,000 homes.
Naturgy has started up its third biomethane plant in Spain and has now increased its renewable gas production capacity to 29 GWh per year, an amount equivalent to the gas consumption of around around 6,000 homes.
UFD, the electricity distributor of the Naturgy group, will invest €1.340 billion until 2027 to strengthen and digitise its electricity grid in Spain with the aim of optimising service to its customers and encouraging development of the energy transition. This investment figure is 11% higher than that undertaken during the 2020-2023 period.
Naturgy has renewed its global EFR (Empress Familiarmente Responsable/Family-Responsible Company) certification awarded by the Másfamilia Foundation, which it initially received in 2013, when it was the first company worldwide to obtain this accreditation. It is currently the only IBEX 35 company with this certificate, which accredits the validity and impact of measures, indicators, practices and actions in terms of work-life balance and people development in five areas: quality of employment, time and space flexibility, support for employees' families, support for the personal and professional environment, and equal opportunities.
Naturgy has begun construction of its largest photovoltaic facility in Spain, Campo de Arañuelo, located in the province of Cáceres (Extremadura). With 300 MW of peak power, the new plant will produce around 515 GWh of renewable energy a year, an amount equivalent to the electricity consumption of 157,100 households. The facility will also contribute to reducing more than 250,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
Francisco Reynés, Chairman and CEO of Naturgy, today took part in the conference organised by the Naturgy Foundation and the Cercle d'Economia to address the situation facing the energy sector in the complex international climate we are experiencing, with a special focus on Europe and Spain.
Naturgy has begun construction work on three new photovoltaic plants in Castilla-La Mancha: the Zorita I and Zorita II facilities, located in the vicinity of the former José Cabrera nuclear power plant between the municipalities of Almonacid de Zorita and Zorita de los Canes (Guadalajara), and the Ocaña plant in the municipality of Ocaña (Toledo).
Naturgy’s General Shareholders’ Meeting has approved, with broad support, the Group’s annual accounts and the management conducted by the Board of Directors, amidst a particularly volatile energy scenario. During the meeting, Naturgy’s executive chairman Francisco Reynés highlighted the Group’s essential role as a major contributor to economic and social development in the countries where it operates, with a firm commitment to the necessary energy transition, ensuring the guarantee of energy supply, creating value across businesses and addressing all the needs of its stakeholders.
