Correction of Galatea II solar plant authorization: 92.4 MW in Madrid

Key data

The Galatea II photovoltaic plant, with 92.4 MW of installed capacity, received its prior administrative authorization and construction permit in March 2025. Now, the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines publishes a resolution correcting errors that remedies formal or technical inaccuracies detected in that original text, without modifying the substance of the authorization.

The regulatory reference is the Resolution of April 16, 2026, published in the BOE on April 23, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-8934), which corrects the Resolution of March 17, 2025.

What does this regulation establish?

The April 2026 resolution corrects material errors detected in the prior administrative authorization and construction permit granted in March 2025 to Green Capital Development 57, SLU for the Galatea II photovoltaic installation.

The key points of what it establishes are:

• Remedying of formal or technical inaccuracies in the original text published in 2025.
• The corrections do not alter the substance of the authorization: the plant remains authorized on the same substantive terms.
• The declaration of public utility is maintained in full, which allows continuation of forced expropriation procedures for land.
• The authorized installation includes both the photovoltaic plant and its evacuation infrastructure.

This type of correction is common in large energy projects, where documentary complexity can generate errors in official publication. It does not imply reopening of the file or new administrative processing.

Economic and operational impact

From an operational perspective, this correction has limited but relevant impact for the directly involved parties:

• For Green Capital Development 57, SLU: The correction consolidates the legal certainty of the project. By remedying the formal errors in the original text, potential challenges based on documentary inaccuracies are eliminated. The 92.4 MW project can continue its development without interruptions resulting from formal defects in the authorization.
• For affected landowners: The declaration of public utility remains in force on the same terms. This means that forced expropriation procedures for the necessary land in Pezuela de las Torres and Corpa are not altered by this correction.
• For the energy sector: A 92.4 MW plant represents a significant-sized installation in the Spanish photovoltaic context. The error correction ensures that the administrative file is cleared before advancing to the construction phase.

Who does it affect?

• Green Capital Development 57, SLU: Developer company holding the authorization. Must verify that the published corrections correspond to the remedies requested or detected in its file.
• Landowners in Pezuela de las Torres (Madrid): Affected by the declaration of public utility and possible forced expropriation procedures linked to the project.
• Landowners in Corpa (Madrid): In the same situation as above, given that the plant extends across both municipalities.
• Legal and technical advisors to the project: Must update the file documentation with the corrected version of the resolution.
• Local administrations of Pezuela de las Torres and Corpa: As municipalities directly affected by the installation and its evacuation infrastructure.

Practical example

A landowner with property in the municipality of Pezuela de las Torres who received notification of impact from the Galatea II project in 2025 may wonder if this error correction modifies their situation.

The answer is clear: this resolution does not alter the declaration of public utility or the scope of the authorized installation. The correction only remedies formal or technical inaccuracies in the original text. Therefore, if their land was included in the scope of the March 2025 authorization, it remains so on the same terms after the April 2026 correction.

In practice, this means that any ongoing negotiation or expropriation procedure must continue taking the original March 2025 authorization as reference, now formally corrected and consolidated.

What should companies do now?

1. Green Capital Development 57, SLU must review the corrected resolution (BOE-A-2026-8934) to verify that all detected inaccuracies have been properly remedied and that the published text faithfully reflects the authorization in its correct terms.
2. Update the administrative file of the project by incorporating the corrected version of the resolution as the current document, replacing or supplementing the March 2025 resolution in all internal files and before third parties.
3. Landowners affected in Pezuela de las Torres and Corpa should consult with a legal advisor specialized in expropriations to understand how the declaration of public utility, now formally cleared, may affect their rights and timeframes for action.
4. Technical and legal advisors to the project must verify that none of the published corrections affect technical, environmental, or design conditions that require adjustments in construction documentation.
5. Maintain active regulatory monitoring for possible new resolutions related to Galatea II, given that projects of this scale may generate additional administrative documentation during the construction phase.
