EiDF Solar has obtained all the necessary permits to start constructing its own 50-MW photovoltaic generation facility in the Spanish municipality of Valdefresno, León. This is a relevant project for the development of the company’s pipeline in its generation unit and confirms the fulfillment of the business plan’s vertical integration. Investment in this facility will be close to 40 million euros.

The photovoltaic plant will occupy a space of 149 hectares and will have more than 99,000 TIER 1 photovoltaic modules that will generate a total generation area of more than 140,000 square meters. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025, and the time until completion will be seven months. Energy generated by the plant will be made available to the group’s own marketers.

Thanks to this project, EiDF reinforces its position as a leader in photovoltaic installations in Spain.

“This is a facility of great importance for us, as it marks a new milestone for our teams,” says Joan Gelonch, CEO of EiDF. “With it, we not only demonstrate our planning and execution capacity, but also reaffirm ourselves as a benchmark company in our sector.”

This development comes within the framework of EiDF’s five-year Strategic Plan, presented a few weeks ago and based on the objectives set by the PNIEC (National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan), which forecasts EBITDA growth to 233.9 million euros until 2028.

“The new plan presented by the government until 2030 contemplates efforts even greater than those proposed by the European Union itself, especially in terms of the presence of renewables in the energy mix,” adds Gelonch. “At EiDF, we are very proud to do our bit to meet these requirements, as well as to promote clean energy.”

Democracy v. Constitutional Republic

Published

I wish I had $100 for every time I heard some uneducated Trump supporter tell me this.

A democracy is a system where governmental power is derived directly from the will of the majority. A constitutional republic is a specific type of representative democracy where the people elect officials to govern, but those officials are strictly limited by a supreme, written constitution designed to protect minority rights from majority rule.

I remember a conservative friend who lived in Hawaii who complained that the native people objected to a project directed from Washington to build something at the top of one of their volcanoes, on the basis that this was their holy land.  My friend asked, “Doesn’t the majority rule?”

“Not necessarily.” Trying to make my point in the simplest way possible, I explained, “People have rights. My neighbors like me, but imagine that they didn’t, and 20 of them, a 20:1 majority, wanted to come in here and beat me to death. I have a right not to murdered. When you think about it, we’re lucky not to live in a country where ‘the majority rules.’”

“Oh. I guess you’re right,” my friend said.

Why Trump Is So Repugnant

My biggest beef with Trump isn’t the many individual points of failure, but the fact that they are all the product of the mind of a criminal sociopath whose only way of thinking is self-enrichment, normally at the expense of anyone who cannot serve to make him richer and more powerful.

Scientific Illiteracy

Neil DeGrasse Tyson says that our problem isn’t that our children don’t understand science, but that our adults don’t.

Three comments:

1) Wind is not a finite resource as long as the sun comes up every morning and disproportionately heats the Earth’s surface.  8th grade Earth science.

2) Wind doesn’t cool anything except the skins of certain animals that perspire. 9th grade biology.

3) Putting one’s ignorance of public display is not a strong idea, even in rural Texas.
