A hybrid installation of 152.84 MW that had passed environmental assessment will not be built. Enel Green Power España, SL submitted a withdrawal in May 2026 of file PEol-FV-049 (HB4-La Masada), and the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines accepted it through a resolution published on June 25, 2026, under article 94 of the Law 39/2015 on Common Administrative Procedure.
The project, requested in June 2023, combined a photovoltaic module ("Calanda", 41.24 MW) and a wind module ("Alcor", 111.6 MW) in the municipalities of Alcorisa, Andorra, Calanda and Alcañiz. It obtained a favorable environmental impact declaration in February 2026, but with conditions that the promoter considered unaffordable from an economic or technical perspective.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution formally accepts the withdrawal submitted by Enel Green Power España, SL in May 2026, ending the prior administrative authorization procedure for the hybrid installation "La Masada-HB4". The project elements were as follows:
| Module | Name | Installed capacity | Technology |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photovoltaic | "Calanda" | 41.24 MW | Solar photovoltaic |
| Wind | "Alcor" | 111.6 MW | Wind |
| Total hybrid installation | "La Masada-HB4" | 152.84 MW | Solar-wind hybrid |
The withdrawal is limited exclusively to file PEol-FV-049. The rest of the hybrid projects linked to the Mudéjar node continue their processing without being affected by this resolution.
The immediate consequence is the release of access and connection points that this installation had reserved on the electrical grid, which can reactivate the interest of other promoters in that evacuation capacity in the area.
Economic and operational impact
The cancellation of "La Masada-HB4" has several implications from an economic and strategic perspective:
- For Enel Green Power España: Loss of investment already made in processing (environmental studies, engineering, administrative management from June 2023 to May 2026). There is no direct economic penalty for the withdrawal, but there is opportunity cost and resources invested over almost three years of file processing.
- For Teruel's just transition zone: The generation of local employment and economic activity associated with the construction and operation of a 152.84 MW plant is delayed or eliminated. Teruel is one of the zones declared as a just transition area in Spain, where the decarbonization of conventional electricity industry requires compensatory renewable investment.
- For other promoters: The release of capacity at the Mudéjar node may represent an opportunity for those with projects in queue or prospecting the area. Evacuation capacity is a scarce resource and its availability can accelerate other files.
- For regional energy planning: The cancellation alters calculations of renewable power installed in Teruel in the short and medium term, with possible impact on the objectives of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC).
Who does it affect?
- Enel Green Power España, SL: Direct promoter. Definitively closes file PEol-FV-049 and must redirect its strategy in the area.
- Municipalities of Alcorisa, Andorra, Calanda and Alcañiz (Teruel): Lose the expectation of economic activity, employment and possible municipal income linked to the project.
- Other renewable energy promoters at the Mudéjar node: May benefit from the release of access and connection points.
- Auxiliary service companies (engineering, construction, maintenance): Those that had planned to participate in the construction or operation of the project see that opportunity cancelled.
- Public administrations and energy planning bodies: Must recalibrate forecasts of renewable power installed in Teruel province.
Practical example
A renewable energy promoter with projects in the prospecting phase in the Bajo Aragón-Caspe region or in the vicinity of the Mudéjar node may now find that the evacuation capacity that "La Masada-HB4" had reserved becomes available. If that promoter has a project of, for example, 50-80 MW in initial processing, the release of these access points can significantly accelerate their authorization process, since grid connection availability is one of the main bottlenecks in the processing of renewables in Spain.
On the other hand, an engineering or construction company that had included "La Masada-HB4" in its portfolio of planned projects for 2026-2027 must update its workload forecasts and seek alternative projects in the area or in other locations of the Mudéjar node that continue in processing.
What should companies do now?
- Promoters with projects at the Mudéjar node: Immediately review the status of released access and connection points. Contact Red Eléctrica de España (REE) to learn about available capacity and timelines for requesting it.
- Companies with hybrid projects in processing in Teruel: Verify that your file is not affected by this resolution. The withdrawal of PEol-FV-049 is exclusive and does not affect other files at the Mudéjar node.
- Investors and funds with exposure to Enel Green Power España: Request updated information on the status of the rest of the promoter's project portfolio in Spain, especially those linked to the Mudéjar node.
- Local administrations of Alcorisa, Andorra, Calanda and Alcañiz: Update their economic development plans and explore with other promoters the possibility of attracting new renewable projects to the area.
- Energy consultants and advisors: Inform your clients with interests in the area about the opportunity represented by the release of evacuation capacity at the Mudéjar node.
Frequently asked questions
Why did Enel Green Power withdraw its application for "La Masada-HB4"?
Enel Green Power España submitted the withdrawal in May 2026 after obtaining a favorable environmental impact declaration in February 2026, but with conditions that the promoter considered unaffordable. The resolution from the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines accepts that withdrawal under article 94 of Law 39/2015.
What happens with the other Mudéjar node projects after this withdrawal?
The withdrawal affects exclusively file PEol-FV-049 (HB4-La Masada). The rest of the hybrid projects at the Mudéjar node continue their processing without being affected by this resolution.
What happens to the access and connection points that "La Masada-HB4" had reserved?
When the project is cancelled, the access and connection points associated with the installation at the Mudéjar node are released. This may represent an opportunity for other promoters seeking evacuation capacity in the Teruel area.
What was the total capacity of the cancelled project?
The hybrid installation "La Masada-HB4" totaled 152.84 MW of installed capacity: 41.24 MW from the photovoltaic module "Calanda" and 111.6 MW from the wind module "Alcor", located in the municipalities of Alcorisa, Andorra, Calanda and Alcañiz (Teruel).
What impact does this cancellation have on Teruel's just transition zone?
Teruel is a just transition zone where renewable investment plays a key compensatory role. The cancellation of a 152.84 MW project delays the arrival of renewable employment and investment to the affected municipalities and may alter forecasts of installed capacity in the region in the short and medium term.
