The country-by-country breakdown of installed renewable capacity, as well as other information, is available on the company's facilities map.
In terms of photovoltaic solar technology:
- In Germany, works on the Boldekow project (56 MW) in Mecklenburg–Western Pomerania have continued.
- In Italy, construction has commenced in Sicily on the Fenix project (243 MW), the largest project under construction in the country of this technology. Works at the Limes 10 and 15 projects have also commenced, with a combined capacity of 54 MW. Meanwhile, in the Lazio region, the Montefiascone photovoltaic plant (7 MW) has been powered up and installation work is ongoing at the Tarquinia plant (33 MW).
- In Portugal, construction of the Carregado connection line (64 MW) is progressing in the district of Lisbon.
In terms of onshore wind:
- In Australia, assembly of wind turbines at the Flyers Creek (146 MW) farm is wrapping up and commercial operation of the project is expected to commence in Q3 2024.
- In Portugal, the final environmental permit has been obtained to incorporate a 274 MW wind project into the Tâmega hydroelectric complex.
Installed capacity breaks down as follows by country:
Wind, batteries and photovoltaic | MW |
---|---|
Germany | 626 |
Australia | 1,452 |
Greece | 421 |
Hungary | 158 |
France | 614 |
Portugal | 277 |
Poland | 213 |
Romania | 80 |
Cyprus | 20 |
Italy | 39 |
The development of offshore wind projects also continues:
- In Germany, installation of half the machines at the Baltic Eagle project (476 MW) has now been completed. Meanwhile, Windanker (315 MW) has entered the first phase of construction.
- In France, as part of the Saint Brieuc project (496 MW), 62 wind turbines have been installed. They were fully commissioned in May 2024.
- In Japan, the consortium formed by Iberdrola Renewables Japan, Eneos Renewable Energy and Tohoku has continued to make progress on the necessary works to pinpoint the project’s feasibility after it was awarded the Happo Noshiro Round 2 offshore project with a planned capacity of 375 MW.
- In Australia, the feasibility licence proposed by the government for the Aurora Green offshore project, with an estimated capacity of 3 GW, has been approved. This licence will allow us to develop the occupied area (700 km2) exclusively for a period of 7 years.
Renewable production at the close of the first half of 2024 reached 3,766 GWh, up 33.5% compared to the same period last year, with the following breakdown by technology:
Rest of the world | GWh |
---|---|
Onshore wind | 2,323 |
Offshore wind | 1,092 |
Solar PV and batteries | 351 |
Total | 3,766 |
By technologies, onshore wind production increased by 10.5% compared to the same period in 2023, mainly thanks to the addition of new operational capacity in Australia through the commissioning of Flyers Creek and in Poland with the Podlasek and Wólka Dobryńska facilities. Offshore wind production (France and Germany) increased by 84% to total 1,092 GWh thanks to the incorporation of new capacity at the Saint Brieuc wind farm in France.
Furthermore, solar photovoltaic production totalled 351 GWh in the period, compared to 125 GWh in the same period in 2023, due to commissioning of the Avonlie plant in Australia and the incorporation of new capacity in Portugal and Italy
