Landowners in Bonete (Albacete) should know that the hybrid wind-solar park project Campanario II, promoted by Elawan Fotovoltaica Campanario 2, SL, already has administrative construction authorization as of April 29, 2026. The resolution from the Directorate General for Energy Policy and Mines (BOE-A-2026-11295) not only authorizes construction: it also expressly declares the public utility of the project, which has direct legal and economic consequences for affected property owners.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution grants Elawan Fotovoltaica Campanario 2, SL administrative construction authorization to hybridize two renewable generation facilities in Bonete (Albacete):
| Facility | Technology | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Campanario II hybrid | Wind | 10 MW |
| FV Campanario II | Solar photovoltaic | 48.12 MW |
| Total hybrid facility | Wind + Photovoltaic | 58.12 MW |
In addition to the hybridization itself, the resolution authorizes the evacuation infrastructure necessary to connect the facility to the electrical grid.
The most legally relevant element is the express declaration of public utility. This legal figure allows the promoter to initiate forced easement or expropriation procedures on necessary land if no voluntary agreement is reached with owners. It does not mean expropriation is automatic, but it does mean the promoter has legal backing to impose it if necessary.
Economic and operational impact
For the promoter, hybridization is a clear economic efficiency decision: by combining wind and solar generation at the same evacuation point, it optimizes the use of existing grid connection infrastructure. This reduces investment costs in new infrastructure and improves project profitability by better utilizing available evacuation capacity.
From the renewable sector perspective, these types of hybrid projects are a growing trend in Spain because they allow maximizing renewable generation with less territorial impact: a single evacuation infrastructure serves two complementary technologies (sun generates more during the day, wind can generate at night or on cloudy days).
For landowners in Bonete, the economic impact can be positive (leasing or purchase of land at negotiated prices) or imposed (easement or expropriation with legal compensation) depending on whether they reach an agreement with the promoter before the expropriation procedure is activated.
Who does it affect?
- Elawan Fotovoltaica Campanario 2, SL: project promoter, directly benefited by the authorization and obligated to comply with resolution conditions.
- Landowners in Bonete (Albacete): affected by possible processing of easements or expropriations derived from the public utility declaration.
- Renewable installation and construction companies: potential contractors for execution of the 58.12 MW project.
- Network operators and evacuation infrastructure managers: involved in connection and commissioning of the hybrid facility.
- Investors and funds with exposure to the Spanish renewable sector: this type of resolution confirms the advancement of the hybrid project pipeline in Spain.
Practical example
A landowner of an agricultural property in the municipality of Bonete receives a notification from Elawan Fotovoltaica Campanario 2, SL requesting the lease or purchase of part of their land for the installation of wind turbines or solar panels from the Campanario II project.
Given that the resolution of April 29, 2026 has expressly declared the public utility of the project, if the owner does not reach a voluntary economic agreement with the promoter, the latter can initiate the forced expropriation or easement procedure with legal backing. The compensation in that case would be set by the Provincial Expropriation Board, not the promoter.
That is why, from a practical standpoint, affected owners have more negotiating power before that procedure is activated. Negotiating in the preliminary phase usually results in more favorable economic conditions than those set through expropriation.
What should companies do now?
- Landowners in Bonete: verify if their properties are included in the project scope by consulting the file at the Directorate General for Energy Policy and Mines or at the Provincial Delegation of Industry in Albacete.
- If you are an affected owner: contact a lawyer specialized in expropriations or energy law before signing any agreement with the promoter, to assess whether the offered conditions are appropriate.
- Installation and construction companies: identify if Elawan Fotovoltaica Campanario 2, SL has initiated a bidding or contracting process for the execution of the 58.12 MW project.
- Renewable investors: register this project as a reference for authorized wind-solar hybridization in Spain for pipeline analysis and benchmarking of similar projects.
- Legal advisors and energy consultants: update monitoring of authorized hybrid projects in Castilla-La Mancha, given that this hybridization model with shared evacuation point is replicable in other pending proceedings.
Frequently asked questions
What does it mean when a wind farm is declared to be of public utility?
The declaration of public utility allows the promoter, Elawan Fotovoltaica Campanario 2 SL, to process forced easements and expropriations on necessary land if there is no voluntary agreement with owners. It is a legal tool that facilitates project execution even if there is opposition from some affected owner.
How many MW does the hybrid park have?
The total capacity is 58.12 MW, consisting of 10 MW of wind power and 48.12 MW of photovoltaic solar power.
