Invested by China Three Gorges Corporation and constructed by ACISA, the Belvis Solar Plant in Spain achieved full-capacity commercial operation in March 2025.
Project Scale & Impact Covering 1.81 million m² with a total installed capacity of 104 MW, the plant generates approximately 200 million kWh annually—enough to power 60,000 households. It reduces CO₂ emissions by 120,000 tons per year, equivalent to the absorption capacity of 660,000 trees.
Ecological Stewardship in Action Sustainability was embedded from the start:
Site selection avoided ecologically sensitive areas.
Low-vibration construction methods and wildlife corridors were implemented.
Small waterways were protected with enclosures.
Innovation in Operations: The 'PV + Sheep Grazing' Model Sheep now graze freely under the solar panels, naturally managing vegetation to reduce fire risk—demonstrating a harmonious integration of renewable energy, agriculture, and biodiversity.
Technological Excellence The plant features an AI-assisted UAV inspection system with thermal and HD imaging to detect faults, boosting efficiency by 50%. Future plans include automated cleaning and weeding robots for smarter operations and maintenance.
Strategic Significance The project supports Spain’s 2030 target of 81% renewable electricity and has been hailed by Spain’s El País as a "reconciliation between photovoltaics and nature."
It represents a true win-win cooperation under the Belt and Green Initiative, combining Spain’s regulatory and management expertise with China’s technology and industrial chain strengths.
