Spain-based Astilleros San Enrique, part of Grupo Marina Meridional, has reached a new stage in the construction of the BlueNewables floating solar project with the keel laying of the first of two platforms. The work is taking place at the former Factorias Vulcano site in Vigo.

According to local media, the first structure, measuring 64×41 meters, will host 600 photovoltaic (PV) panels and is planned for installation at the Port of Valencia. The unit is designed to deliver about 0.50 MW of power. Additional components are said to be added over the coming months until completion.
