Almodóvar del Río: 200.6 megawatt-hour battery plant approved

The City Council of Almodóvar del Río has definitively approved the public interest action project for the implementation of a battery energy storage plant on rural land, promoted by ABEI Green Energy SL. The facility, named “BESS ALMODÓVAR”, will have 49.9 MW of power and 200.6 MWh of capacity and will be located on plot 14 of polygon 24 of the municipal district. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba number 216, dated November 9, 2026, with the official reference BOP-A-2026-3728, on page 15959.

A plenary agreement with general effects

The published text corresponds to the agreement of the municipal Plenary dated September 30, 2026, by which the application file for authorization for extraordinary actions of public interest on rural land is definitively approved. The processing has been followed in file Gex 4497/2026, at the request of the promoting company.

The instrument used is an action project, a figure provided to authorize extraordinary uses on non-urbanizable land. The plant is planned as a stand alone modality, that is, as a grid-connected storage facility without associated own generation, according to the designation contained in the official announcement itself.

The publication is made “for general knowledge,” once the processing has concluded and the file has been definitively approved, and the complete project remains available to interested parties on the electronic office of the City Council of Almodóvar del Río.

Estate, affected plots, and technical drafting

The announcement precisely identifies the territorial basis of the action:

• Location: registry estate number 168, volume 1198, book 113, folio 37.
• Cadastral plots: 14005A01400024, 14005A01409008, and 14005A01400021.
• Affection: the implementation affects plot 14 of polygon 24 and plots 9008 and 21.
• Project drafting: Ignacio Yélamo Mayorga, Environmental Sciences technician, member number 1542.

Deadline and appeal route

The agreement exhausts the administrative route by approving a provision of a general nature, therefore, the only recourse against it is to appeal to the contentious-administrative jurisdiction. The announcement specifies the terms of the appeal:

• Competent body: Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Andalusia, based in Córdoba.
• Deadline: two months from the day following the receipt of the notification.
• Invoked regulations: article 112.3 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations, and article 46 of Law 29/1998, of July 13, of the Contentious-Administrative Jurisdiction.
• Any other appeal that the interested party deems appropriate to their right remains reserved.

The announcement appears signed in Almodóvar del Río on November 3, 2026, by the mayor, Ramón Hernández Lucena, and includes the Secure Verification Code 4435 CFD8 AF62 BA25 2F73.

The final approval makes Almodóvar del Río one of the municipalities in Córdoba with rural land designated for grid-scale energy storage. The 49.9 MW and 200.6 MWh installation adds backup capacity to the electrical system, but the agreement directly affects the owners of plot 14 of polygon 24 and the linked registered estates, who now have two months to decide whether to challenge the project before the TSJA.
