The Gran Canaria Island Council, through the Island Energy Council, has initiated the tender for photovoltaic installations in Agaete with a key project at the Fuente Santa Sports Complex. The project consists of a solar roof over the padel courts, designed to produce electricity and provide shade in a high-traffic area.
In addition to generating local energy, the project will significantly improve the Thermal comfort and protection from the heat, aligning with the island's energy transition strategy and the drive to Clean energy from the zero kilometer. in public settings.
Project features
The intervention includes a photovoltaic roof on a chapel-like structure, adapted for sports use and the local climate. The floor plan will reach 274,05 kWp and will not include batteries, a decision made by the stability of consumption of the complex and the adaptation of the demand profile to daytime generation.
- Peak power: 274,05 kWp.
- Estimated annual production: 446.673 kWh.
- Emissions avoided: ~155 tons of CO₂/year.
- Bidding budget: €932.554,24.
- Location: padel courts from the Fuente Santa Sports Complex (Agaete).
The budget amounts to 932.554,24 Euros, and includes the execution of the structure, the installation of the modules and the rest of the equipment necessary for its commissioning in the photovoltaic installations in Agaete.
Energy production and climate effect
With a projected generation of 446.673 kWh per yearThe photovoltaic roof will reduce the complex's grid consumption and move towards more efficient energy use. This production volume is equivalent to avoiding approximately 155 t of CO₂ every year.
Beyond kilowatt-hours, the solution provides Shade and thermal protectionreducing sun exposure and encouraging the use of sports equipment throughout the year. In a municipality like AgaeteImproved comfort contributes to a more resilient public space in the face of heat waves.
Financing and bidding deadlines
The project is partially funded by NextGenerationEU through the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (RTRP), which reinforces its alignment with European policies decarbonization and efficiency.
Interested companies can submit bids until December 4th 2025 on the Public Sector Procurement Platform. The documentation is available at the following official link, where the specifications and requirements technical and administrative staff.
Institutional statements
The Minister for Environment, Climate, Energy and Knowledge, Raul Garcia Brink, emphasizes that actions of this kind bring the energy transition into everyday life: they not only cut emissions and costs, but also They improve the quality of the spaces that citizens use.
The mayor of Agaete, María del Carmen Rosario GodoyThe project is valued as a long-awaited improvement to one of the busiest sports facilities in the municipality, as it provides useful shadows, lower the temperature on the track and reduce the complex's energy consumption.
Relevance to the citizens of Agaete
The initiative combines renewable electricity production with climate adaptationand is part of the island's roadmap to accelerate energy self-sufficiency. The combination of local generation and comfort measures will allow decrease demand of the facility and its carbon footprint.
With this tender, the photovoltaic installations in Agaete take another step towards a more sustainable public energy model, with tangible benefits in savings, emissions and safe use of sports facilities without altering their functionality.
