Industry authorizes the Camunyas photovoltaic plant with batteries in Valladolid and Zaratán

The Territorial Service of Industry, Commerce, and Economy of Valladolid, under the Ministry of Environment and Energy, has granted the prior administrative authorization for the FV Camunyas photovoltaic plant hybridized with battery storage, promoted by Bohm Energy, S.L., in the municipal districts of Valladolid and Zaratán. The resolution was signed on August 13, 2026, and published in the Official Gazette of Castilla y León no. 220, dated November 13, 2026, under file number FV-2722-ALM ATCE-214.

The process began on April 25, 2024, when Bohm Energy, S.L.U. registered the application for prior administrative authorization and recognition of public utility under Decree 46/2022, of November 24, which regulates the authorization procedures for electrical installations in Castilla y León, and Law 24/2013 of the Electricity Sector. On July 9, 2025, the company expanded the file to incorporate battery storage and the construction authorization, and on October 29, 2025, it withdrew the request for the recognition of public utility specifically.

The project passed the public information period opened on December 29, 2025—20 business days without allegations—and obtained a favorable feasibility report from the Environmental Protection Section of the Territorial Environment Service on October 14, 2025. On May 19, 2026, the environmental impact report of the project, approved by the resolution of May 14, 2026, from the Ministry of Environment, Housing, and Territorial Planning, was published in the BOCYL (no. 93/2026).

Four megawatts of generation and six megawatt hours of batteries

The authorization covers a photovoltaic electrical generation installation hybridized with a storage module, with the following characteristics gathered from the project submitted on July 8, 2025:

• Installed capacity: 4,000 kW (4 MW), according to Royal Decree 413/2014 and Royal Decree 997/2025.
• Nominal power and storage capacity: 3 MW / 6 MWh.
• Voltage at the connection point: 13.2 kV.
• Photovoltaic plant and batteries: municipal district of Valladolid.
• Evacuation infrastructure: Zaratán and Valladolid.
• Delivery point to the distributor: CARBURADOR line of the ST Valladolid.

The permit arrives, however, without the administrative construction authorization. The territorial service reasons that this cannot be issued because the installation will evacuate through the CEBADA Sectioning Center, whose definitive location “is not yet confirmed.” The promoter holds access and connection permits from I-De, Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes, S.A.U. for 9,753.6 kW of installed capacity and 3,000 kW of granted access capacity.

Shared trench with approximately thirty files

The evacuation is resolved with 13.2 kV underground lines to the CS Cebada, in a layout divided into four sections that share a trench with other facilities being processed within the same territorial service:

• First section: from the sectioning center of the PSFV Camunyas, in Zaratán, to the trench of the PSFV Estandarte line (FV-2703).
• Second section: link with the FV Dafne Solar trench (FV-2609).
• Third section: link with FV Orchís Solar (FV-2622), sharing a layout with approximately thirty files (FV-2639, FV-2640, FV-2642, FV-2649, FV-2650, FV-2665, FV-2666, FV-2667, FV-2681, FV-2682, FV-2683, FV-2688, FV-2690, FV-2697, FV-2705, FV-2708, FV-2709, FV-2710, FV-2711, FV-2712, FV-2713, FV-2715, FV-2716, FV-2721, FV-2723, FV-2724, FV-2725, and FV-2726).
• Fourth section: from the exit of the shared trench to the CS Cebada Sectioning and Metering Center.

Sectoral reports and dismissed objections

The territorial service requested technical conditions from a dozen entities, including the city councils of Valladolid and Zaratán, I-De, the Duero Hydrographic Confederation, Telefónica de España, S.A., NEDGIA, Red Eléctrica de España, S.A.U., the State Roads Demarcation in Western Castilla y León, and the Territorial Service of Culture, Tourism and Sport. The Valladolid City Council, Nedgia, Telefónica, and the Culture service did not respond.

The resolution dismisses the three objections presented during the hearing process: that of Mr. H.G.L. and Ms. I.G.F., owners of plot 2438338UM5123N0001XL affected by the line; that of Borciadero, S.L.U. and Pago de Cardosas, S.L., regarding plots 47900A004000510000YH and 47900A004000490000YW; and that of Luis de Caso, S.L., owner of estate 2939714UM5123N0001WL. In all three cases, the territorial service maintains that layout alternatives were analyzed and that the lands are listed in the cadastre as rural agricultural land, such that the easement will only prevent planting trees and building within the safety distances.

Against the resolution, which does not exhaust the administrative route, an administrative appeal (recurso de alzada) may be filed before the Director General of Energy and Mines within one month from the day following its notification or publication.
