Axpo has finished constructing a 200 MWp solar complex in León province in Spain, comprising four 50 MWp solar plants located across Villadangos del Páramo and Cimanes de Tejar. The Vilecha complex spans more than 360 hectares and is scheduled to begin supplying electricity to Spain’s national grid by the end of the first quarter of 2026. The solar plants, namely Valtarafon, Roteles, El Monte and La Fenera, are equipped with more than 365,000 tracking-mounted panels.
The combined output of the complex is expected to exceed 377,000 MWh annually. This is estimated to match the electricity requirement of 100,000 people, and offset nearly 75,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. The project required simultaneous engineering and planning for the four plants with differing terrain conditions and a shared connection to a 132 kV substation. Despite the challenges, the construction process was completed timely.
In August 2025, Axpo brought its 24.8 MW Lålax onshore wind project in Finland into operation. The Lålax wind farm, situated in the municipality of Vörå in western Ostrobothnia, features four Vestas turbines of 6.2 MW each with a hub height of 134 metres. The project is expected to generate about 70 GWh of electricity annually. The Axpo wind team oversaw the project’s development and construction.
