ACCIONA Energía has started supplying renewable electricity to the grid from its Logrosan biomass power plant located in Cáceres, Spain. The plant has an installed capacity of 50 MW and is expected to generate around 380 GWh of electricity annually. This is expected to offset more than 187,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. The plant was awarded under the third renewable energy economic regime auction conducted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, which ensures a guaranteed sale price for the electricity produced for a period of 20 years.
The Logrosan plant is expected to consume approximately 275,000 metric tonnes of biomass each year, primarily sourced from forestry residues. The collection and use of this material is intended to support active forest management practices by reducing excess biomass accumulation. Moreover, this approach is aimed at lowering the risk and intensity of wildfires in the surrounding region through systematic removal of forest waste.
Additionally, the project is expected to contribute to the regional economy, with around one third of the income generated by the plant reportedly remaining within the local area through employment, services, and procurement of supplies. Furthermore, ACCIONA Energía has implemented complementary initiatives to support socio-economic activity in the region. These include measures to revitalise the Del Campo San Mateo olive oil cooperative, the installation of a photovoltaic self-consumption system at a livestock cooperative, and financial assistance to biomass suppliers to support machinery purchases.
In December 2025, ACCIONA Energía entered into an agreement with Mexico Infrastructure Partners for the sale of a 49 per cent stake in its 1.3 GW solar portfolio in US, along with the complete divestment of two wind projects in Mexico with a combined capacity of 321 MW. The transaction has an equity value of approximately €855 million. As part of the agreement, the company will continue to hold a 51 per cent controlling interest in the US solar assets and will remain responsible for their operation and management.
