Iberdrola will promote in Castile and León in the next few years to more than 1,800 MW of renewable projects -wind and photovoltaic-, to the that will see investment of over 1,300 million euros. This volume of resources to drive forward the industrial fabric and will generate employment for 18,000 people, according to the estimates set forth in the National Energy Plan, and Climate.

In Velilla, the company will build the largest photovoltaic in the region, with a total of 400 MW of installed power, which will be also one of the largest in Spain.
