Zelestra and EDP have signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) to hybridise an operational solar plant with battery storage. As per the agreement, Zelestra will add a 160 MWh BESS to the 50 MW Pizarroso solar plant in Cáceres. The solar plant has been operational since 2023. EDP, the current offtaker for the solar plant, will use the battery storage to improve energy management and enhance system flexibility.
In March 2026, Zelestra commissioned three solar plants, Belinchón I, II and III, in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, with a combined capacity of 162 MW. The projects are located in Cuenca and were completed within 14 months by the company’s EPC team. Additionally, the operational plants are expected to avoid more than 42,700 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
In February 2026, Zelestra initiated construction of the 242 MWdc Babilonia solar project in Arequipa, Peru. It will involve the installation of approximately 394,000 bifacial solar modules. Commercial operations are scheduled to commence in the first half of 2027. The development has been secured under a long-term power purchase agreement with Celepsa.
