Acciona Cancels Bodeguillas 42 MW Solar Plant in Ayora: What It Means

Key data

A photovoltaic project of almost 42 MW that had been in administrative processing for more than three years will not be built. The General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines has accepted the withdrawal submitted on March 16, 2026 by Corporación Acciona Eólica, SL regarding the hybrid photovoltaic infrastructure "Bodeguillas", of 41.99 MWp, located in the municipality of Ayora (Valencia).

The resolution, published in the BOE on June 8, 2026, ends a file initiated in December 2022 and which had been accumulated with another seven projects from the Acciona group in the provinces of Valencia and Albacete.

What does this resolution establish?

The resolution accepts the withdrawal filed by Corporación Acciona Eólica, SL under article 94 of Law 39/2015, on Common Administrative Procedure. This article allows the promoter of an administrative procedure to withdraw from it at any time, provided that third-party interests or public interest are not affected.

The procedure included a prior hearing process to which the promoter showed its agreement, thus complying with the formal requirements for the definitive filing of the case.

The authorizations that are definitively cancelled are:

• Prior administrative authorization
• Administrative construction authorization
• Environmental impact declaration
• Declaration of public utility in concrete

The underlying reason was the corporate separation between Acciona Eólica del Levante and Corporación Acciona Eólica, which occurred in December 2025. This internal restructuring of the group forced the de-accumulation of the eight files that were being processed jointly, and ultimately led to the abandonment of the "Bodeguillas" project in particular.

Economic and operational impact

For the Acciona group, the filing represents the definitive renunciation of an installed capacity of 41.99 MWp in the Valencian Community. The accumulated processing costs since December 2022 are not recovered, which in projects of this magnitude usually include environmental impact studies, preliminary engineering and administrative fees.

For the local and regional energy market, the cancellation implies that this photovoltaic capacity will not be incorporated into the grid in the planned timeframe. The municipalities of Ayora and the surrounding areas of Valencia and Albacete lose an investment project in renewable infrastructure that had generated expectations since 2022.

From a regulatory perspective, the filing does not generate additional economic obligations for Corporación Acciona Eólica, SL: voluntary withdrawal in accordance with article 94 of Law 39/2015 does not entail sanctions or administrative penalties, provided that formal requirements are met, as is the case here.

Who does it affect?

• Corporación Acciona Eólica, SL: direct promoter of the project, which loses the processing and costs invested since 2022.
• Acciona Eólica del Levante: group entity whose corporate separation in December 2025 was the trigger for the de-accumulation of files.
• Administration of the Valencian Community: loses a renewable generation project of almost 42 MW in its territory.
• Administration of Castilla-La Mancha (Albacete): affected by the de-accumulation of the package of eight projects from the group in the area.
• Municipality of Ayora (Valencia): planned location of the plant, which will not receive the investment associated with the project.
• Other photovoltaic promoters with accumulated projects: the de-accumulation of files can serve as a reference on how corporate restructurings affect joint processing.

Practical example

Corporación Acciona Eólica, SL submitted in December 2022 the application for "Bodeguillas" together with seven other projects from the group, which were being processed in an accumulated manner before the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines. In December 2025, the corporate separation between Acciona Eólica del Levante and Corporación Acciona Eólica forced a review of which entity held each file. The result was the de-accumulation of the eight projects and, in the specific case of "Bodeguillas", the decision not to continue with the processing.

On March 16, 2026, Corporación Acciona Eólica, SL formally submitted the withdrawal. The General Directorate processed the required hearing process, the promoter showed agreement, and on April 27, 2026, the resolution accepting the withdrawal was signed, published in the BOE on June 8, 2026. From that date, the project is archived without possibility of reactivation under the same file.

What should companies do now?

1. Promoters with accumulated files: review whether a corporate restructuring can affect the ownership of files in process and anticipate communication to the administration to avoid similar situations.
2. Companies with photovoltaic projects in Valencia or Albacete: verify if any of the seven remaining projects from the Acciona group that were de-accumulated can generate land opportunities, grid connection or power purchase agreements in the area.
3. Legal advisors for energy projects: document the procedure followed in this case as a reference for managing withdrawals in accordance with article 94 of Law 39/2015, especially in contexts of corporate reorganization.
4. Renewable investors: note that internal restructurings of promoter groups can paralyze or cancel projects in advanced processing phase, with the consequent impact on timelines and planned installed capacity.
