Terrassa processes two collective self-consumption solar parks in the north of the city with a joint power of 4.1 MW and 8,346 photovoltaic panels. The projects, named Can Bogunyà and Bonaire, are promoted by the company Solar Renovables del Vallès and are in the public exhibition phase.
The planned distribution reserves 90% of the energy for an energy community within a five-kilometer radius, while the remaining 10% will be allocated to vulnerable families with a social tariff. This perimeter covers the urban area of Terrassa but excludes Les Fonts and the southern half of Can Parellada.
Can Bogunyà will contribute 2.7 MW and Bonaire another 1.4 MW. Between the two facilities, they will incorporate 21 inverters and thirteen battery modules to store 1.3 MW of energy with a two-hour autonomy.
In addition to electricity generation, the project includes an underground low-voltage line to the transformation center on Isidre Nonell street, in Can Roca. The channeling aims to connect production with urban consumption without resorting to overhead infrastructure.
There will be grazing under the panels.
The design of the parks includes an agrivoltaic model that will allow livestock activity with herds in a delimited space under the panels. The formula has the support of the Generalitat de Catalunya and combines energy use with the continuity of land exploitation.
To reduce the visual impact, the developer plans to install vegetation fences around the plants. In the north of Terrassa, this landscape integration is added to the technical integration of the network and recent experiences on changes in access infrastructures in the city.
The total planned investment amounts to 4.2 million euros. Copcisa Elèctrica and Delta Renovables from the Electra de Caldes de Montbui Group provide financing with the collaboration of IDAE.
