Naturgy has started construction work on three new photovoltaic plants in the municipality of Andújar (Jaén) that will generate a peak power of 100 MW and produce 180 GWh of renewable energy per year, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 55,800 homes. Furthermore, Andújar I, Andújar II and Andújar III will prevent 90,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
UFD, the Naturgy Group’s electricity distributor, now has more than 38,000 self-supply installations in its electricity network after having doubled the number of connections in 2023. These operative self-supply installations have a total capacity of 950 MW, a figure that represents an important milestone for the company in its commitment to the energy transition.
Naturgy has been recognised as one of Spain’s Top Employers for the tenth year in a row. The company obtained this certification from Top Employers Institute following an exhaustive audit of more than 300 practices in its People area. By revalidating this seal, Naturgy continues to be part of the group of leading companies in Spain that are known for their professional development models and strategy.
Naturgy will supply Inditex with all the renewable gas produced at the Bens WWTP facilities in A Coruña. In all, there will be 5.1 GWh of biomethane, a gas with qualities equivalent to those of natural gas, obtained from the treatment of 130,000 m3 of wastewater from homes and industries in the metropolitan area of this Galician city.
Naturgy continues its US growth as it begins construction on the Grimes project, its second major photovoltaic facility in the country. This new renewable power plant, located in the state of Texas, will include 210 MW of power that will be able to generate enough zero-emissions electricity to supply approximately 140,000 households.
This week, Naturgy has commissioned the Merengue II wind farm, the company’s second in Extremadura, and the Puerta del Jerte photovoltaic plant, the second of its kind in this autonomous region. Both installations allow the energy company to add 80 MW to those already in operation and reach 142 MW of renewable energy in the region.
Naturgy has launched Naturzero, a new comprehensive service designed to help its customers reduce their emissions and save on their energy bills through a wide range of efficient solutions that seek to maximise the benefits of the transition to a low-carbon economy. Calculate, Compensate and Reduce are the three axes around which this new Naturgy service revolves. Through Naturzero Calcula, the energy group will help companies calculate their carbon footprint and offer them a personalised decarbonisation strategy in line with the guidelines set by environmental regulations.
Naturgy will build its sixth biomethane production plant in Spain and the first in Andalusia in the municipality of Utrera (Seville). This new milestone, driven together with KEPLER Ingeniería and Ecogestión, is a further step in the Energy Group's ambition to play a leading role in the promotion of renewable gases as part of its commitment to energy transition and innovation.
Naturgy, through Naturgy Innovahub, its vehicle focused on research into technologies linked to the energy transition, and the City of Energy Foundation (CIUDEN) attached to the Institute for a Just Transition (ITJ) under the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO), have signed a collaboration agreement to develop a pioneering project in the field of energy storage based on second-life batteries from electric vehicles, which represents a milestone in the search for sustainable energy solutions.
Naturgy has commissioned Salinetas, its inaugural photovoltaic plant in the Canary Islands. Situated in the town of Telde, Gran Canaria, and backed by a €5.2 million investment, this new facility enables the energy company to reach 100 MW of renewable energy in operation. Additionally, there are 45 MW more currently under construction.
Naturgy and the European Investment Bank (EIB) have agreed a EUR 700 million loan, which the energy group will use to adapt its electricity distribution networks in Spain to further advance the energy transition and improve efficiency, service and quality of supply for the public.
This will provide the company with additional financial resources for the digitisation of its electricity networks and to improve its operational flexibility and efficiency. Modernising and improving the efficiency of the grid will also contribute to national and European Union (EU) climate targets.
