Antequera opens two solar plants in Taraje Nuevo for public consultation

The Antequera City Council has opened for public consultation the action project for the installation of a solar plant in the areas of “Taraje Nuevo” and “Bernal”. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga (BOP) on October 14, 2026, within the first section, dedicated to city council announcements, under the reference Edict 3744/2026. A second solar project appears in the same issue, in this case for the areas of “Cortijo M”, “La Viña”, and “Bernal” (Edict 3746/2026).

Two solar projects in the same issue of the gazette

The Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga of October 14, 2026, includes two announcements from the Antequera City Council regarding solar generation installations on rural land within the municipal district:

• Edict 3744/2026 — action project for the installation of a solar plant in the areas of “Taraje Nuevo” and “Bernal”.
• Edict 3746/2026 — action project for the installation of a solar plant in the areas of “Cortijo M”, “La Viña”, and “Bernal”.

Both files share the “Bernal” area as a partial location, pointing to a concentration of photovoltaic initiatives in that part of the municipality. Both edicts are published on the same day and in the same section of the provincial gazette, the first, reserved for municipal announcements.

The public consultation process

Publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga is the official channel through which the Antequera City Council makes the project known and opens the possibility for interested parties to consult the file. The announcement is identified by the reference Edict 3744/2026 and is inserted in the first section of the gazette.

The project is processed as an “action project” (proyecto de actuación), the figure that Andalusian urban planning regulations reserve for actions of public or social interest on non-urbanizable land. This type of file is subject to public exhibition before its approval, so that residents and affected entities can submit allegations regarding the territorial and environmental impact of the installation.

The mentioned areas—“Taraje Nuevo” and “Bernal”—are the only locations detailed in the announcement for this installation. The summary published in the gazette does not specify the planned capacity, the affected area, or the promoter of the plant.

Energy background in the municipality

In recent months, Antequera has accumulated several files linked to energy production on rural land. The Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga of August 26, 2026, published the announcement of an action project for the generation of renewable natural gas from agricultural and livestock waste on plot 9 (Edict 3194/2026).

Added to that processing are now the two solar projects from October 14, which place the municipality on the map of energy initiatives in the province. The same issue of the bulletin includes other matters from the Antequera City Council, such as the regulatory bases for the selection process to fill four positions for Local Police Officer (Edict 3680/2026).

What it implies for residents

The public information period is the time when residents of the affected areas and associations can examine the project and submit allegations. The coincidence of two solar installations in the same municipal district, with the “Bernal” area as a common point, reinforces the residents’ interest in knowing the scope of both actions.

Furthermore, the announcement comes in a context of increasing pressure on non-urbanizable land in the interior of the province, where renewable energy projects compete with traditional agricultural and livestock uses. For the residents of “Taraje Nuevo” and “Bernal,” the edict marks the formal start of a file that could condition the landscape and the uses of the environment for decades.
