Caudete opens public information for the Crisnova Vidrio solar plant in Los Villares

The Caudete City Council has opened the public information process for the activity license requested by Crisnova Vidrio, S.A. for a 8,050 kWp photovoltaic plant intended for the self-consumption of the factory itself. The announcement is signed by the mayor-president, José Miguel Mollá Nieto, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete number 126, dated October 28, 2026, within the third Section (Local Administration), on page 50. Affected parties have twenty business days to submit their observations in writing to the City Council.

The procedure is processed under file 06L/26 (SEGEX 1576014J) and stems from the application submitted by the company, with CIF no. A02057032, to legalize the electricity generation activity associated with the projected installation. The published text does not specify the investment amount or the execution schedule, and limits the object of the announcement to the opening of the citizen participation period prior to the municipal resolution on the license.

The projected installation

The plant will be located on industrial land within the municipality of Caudete, with the following characteristics according to the official announcement:

• Installed capacity: 8,050 kWp.
• Owner: Crisnova Vidrio, S.A. (CIF no. A02057032).
• Energy destination: self-consumption by the company itself.
• Location: plot 329 of polygon 4, in the Los Villares industrial estate.
• Cadastral reference: 02025A0040032900001E.
• Municipal file: 06L/26 (SEGEX 1576014J).

Therefore, this is a generation installation associated with an industrial consumer, not a park intended for the sale of energy to the grid, which links the authorization to the manufacturing activity that Crisnova Vidrio, S.A. carries out in the municipality.

Twenty business days to object

The announcement calls upon “those who consider themselves affected in any way by the referenced activity” to formulate any observations they deem pertinent. The requirements for the process are:

• Deadline: twenty business days from the publication of the announcement.
• Form: written submission presented to the Caudete City Council.
• Object: observations regarding the activity for which the license is requested.
• Nature of the process: public information prior to the municipal resolution.

The opening of this period does not imply the granting of the license, but rather the possibility for interested third parties to raise objections before the City Council decides on the application.

An announcement signed on October 5

The official text is dated Caudete, October 5, 2026, meaning its publication in the provincial bulletin occurred twenty-three days after the signature. The announcement is internally identified with number 25,979 and occupies page 50 of the issue, in a section dedicated to announcements from the local administration of Albacete.

The effectiveness of the deadline is linked to the date of publication in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Albacete, therefore the twenty business days must be calculated from the appearance of issue 126, corresponding to Wednesday, October 28, 2026.

The announcement does not provide data on the surface area occupied by the panels, the number of modules, the power of the inverters, nor the existence of an environmental impact study, details which do not appear in the text submitted for public information. Nor does it specify whether the plant is located on a rooftop or on the ground within the industrial plot.

The relevance of the news lies in the volume of the installation: 8,050 kWp for self-consumption places the project among the largest industrial photovoltaic actions processed in the municipality, in a context of rising energy costs that pushes the manufacturing industry to cover part of its demand with its own generation. For the residents and companies in the vicinity of Los Villares, the process opens a window of twenty business days to raise objections before the Caudete City Council resolves the license.
