Arturo Mas-Sardá, President of PortAventura World, stated that "the inauguration of PortAventura Solar is a major milestone in our company's ESG strategy, which we are constantly working on and is an absolute priority".

Choni Fernández, Director of Sustainability at PortAventura World, explained that "for more than 28 years, we have worked actively to meet a series of social, environmental and economic commitments that have benefited all stakeholders involved in our resort. With the plant, we are responding to the Energy Transition axis of the company's Strategic Sustainability Plan 2022-2025".

PortAventura Solar, with a capacity of 6.05 megawatt peak (MWp), will generate 10GWh/year - equivalent to the consumption of 3,000 households - of clean electricity that will cover almost a third of the resort's energy needs, thereby reducing its environmental impact and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs set by the United Nations, which include promoting energy efficiency within organisations. The installation will prevent the release of 4,000 tonnes of CO² into the atmosphere per year.

The project has been developed in compliance with a very demanding strategy for integration and landscape impact, with the aim of reducing its visual effect and preserving the environment. The second phase of construction, already underway, will have a capacity of 3.1 megawatt peak (MWp) and will provide an additional 5.6GWh per year. In total, installation of the plant has required an investment of more than €8 million.
