The Belvis Photovoltaic Power Station Project in Spain, invested and built by Chinese enterprises, adds color and green cooperation
2025-08-04
Entering the Extremadura region, one can immediately see the solar photovoltaic panels laid on the slopes near the A5 national highway, extending into the distance with the undulating terrain. Between the photovoltaic panels, white flocks of sheep can be faintly seen leisurely foraging, painting a beautiful green and low-carbon picture of "photovoltaic+nature". This is the Bellevue Photovoltaic Power Station project, invested by China Three Gorges Corporation and constructed by ACISA, a subsidiary of China Railway Construction International Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CRCC") in Spain. The project covers an area of approximately 1.81 million square meters, with a total installed capacity of 104 megawatts and an annual power generation of approximately 200 million kilowatt hours. It officially achieved full capacity commercial operation in March of this year. At the site of the first phase of the Belvis Photovoltaic Power Station project, sheep are resting near the photovoltaic box type substation. They are the 'old residents' here - even before the project construction, local herdsmen often grazed their sheep here. The business manager of the Corporate Culture Department of Tiejianguo Investment told reporters that the project has been paying great attention to protecting the local ecology since the site selection: avoiding ecologically sensitive areas and setting up wildlife passages; Low vibration methods are used during construction to minimize disturbance to surface organisms; Even small rivers are protected on site with fencing during construction. What was there before coming, and what needs to be there after being built. ”Guillermo Vidal, the project manager of ACISA, said that protecting the ecology is the concept that the project has always adhered to. Hay needs to be cleaned up in a timely manner to prevent fires, and sheep can become "weed killers" when foraging. By coexisting with animals, Bellvis found a harmonious symbiotic point between agriculture and energy development, "said Bidar. The Belvis Photovoltaic Power Station has become an important window for showcasing advanced technologies and products in the local photovoltaic field. In the control room of the power station, six monitors clearly display the entire project's power generation situation and on-site conditions. Three Gorges Europe is responsible for the clean energy investment, development, and operation of Three Gorges International Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd. in Europe and North America. Miguel Marcos, the project manager of the company's Bevis project, stated that in addition to traditional precision sensors, the Bevis photovoltaic power plant has also introduced an efficient drone inspection system. With the help of high-definition aerial photography and thermal imaging technology, faults in photovoltaic modules can be quickly identified, such as whether there are local temperature anomalies on the surface of photovoltaic panels. Different weather conditions may cause abnormal operation of photovoltaic panels. Manual maintenance is often difficult, but with drones, response speed and accuracy of judgment have been greatly improved, "said Marcos. It is reported that during the operation of the power station, relevant personnel will continue to explore the deployment of automated and intelligent operation and maintenance equipment, such as automatic cleaning equipment, weeding machines, etc., which will further improve the operational efficiency of the power station. The Bellevue Photovoltaic Power Station is a vivid example of China and Spain exploring green cooperation. ”Lei Zhen, Director of Greenland Development Department of Three Gorges Europe Company, stated that the core facilities currently used in the project, such as photovoltaic modules, inverters, box type transformer equipment, and main transformers, are all "Made in China". This not only demonstrates China's global competitiveness in the field of new energy manufacturing, but also has a positive impact on the local equipment usage standards and industrial chain development in Spain. This also promotes innovation in China's related industries: products must meet local standards while also reasonably controlling costs. For us, this is both a challenge and an opportunity, "Lei Zhen said. It is reported that in order to achieve the goal of renewable energy accounting for 81% of the electricity structure by the end of 2030, the Spanish government is accelerating the layout of new energy. Spain has mature experience in environmental protection, safety, and project management systems. Chinese enterprises have obvious advantages in technology integration and industrial chain integration, which can add new momentum to Spain's energy transformation. Green energy has become one of the important areas of cooperation between the two countries. Carlos Bielsa, secretary-general of the Spanish "the Belt and Road" Research Center, said that Chinese enterprises are not only fund providers, but also technology participants and model promoters. The cooperation between enterprises of the two sides forms a "real sense of complementarity and co construction". (New Society)
