Suma Capital and Alpiq start construction of the 'Quijote' photovoltaic project in Toledo with SENS technology

Suma Capital, a leading independent multi-asset manager specialized in sustainability funds, and Alpiq, a Swiss electricity producer and international energy trader, laid the first stone last Tuesday for the 'Quijote' project, which involves the construction of two photovoltaic parks, Entrecaminos and Haza de las Tobas, in the province of Toledo. Sergio Fernández Encabo, partner of Suma Capital, and Paula del Castillo Cabanas, Country Manager of Alpiq in Spain, hosted this symbolic event, which was also attended by Óscar Page, CEO of SENS Ibérica, and local authorities.

The Entrecaminos and Hazas de las Tobas photovoltaic projects will have a capacity of 8.9 MWp and 11.4 MWp respectively. Both plants will occupy a total area of 33.3 hectares between the towns of Villacañas and Madridejos (Toledo) and are expected to produce 42.34 GWh per year, equivalent to the consumption of 12,700 homes. The construction of the plants will start in the coming days.

"The 'Quijote' project is an example of our commitment to investing in sustainable infrastructure for the energy transition. This project aligns with our environmental impact and sustainability goals, which are fundamental to us. We are proud to collaborate with our partner Alpiq in the construction of this project, sharing the common purpose of building the path towards a more sustainable and just future" said Sergio Fernández, partner at Suma Capital.

"With the Entrecaminos and Haza de las Tobas photovoltaic projects, Alpiq, together with its partners, contributes to the expansion of climate-friendly electricity production, while strengthening the security of supply in the province of Toledo through renewable sources" – stated Paula del Castillo, Country Manager of Alpiq – "At Alpiq we feel the responsibility to implement sustainability not only in our business model, but also in our day-to-day business".
