The Zújar is a key infrastructure asset in Spain's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 7 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing solar energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Spain, Zújar occupies the #171 position among all operational solar power plants. Its 7 MW capacity represents a 0.10% share of Spain's total installed solar generating capacity, which currently stands at 7,300 MW. The largest operational solar installation in Spain is the Almaraz with an output of 2,017 MW, making the Zújar approximately 288.1 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0057% of Spain's aggregate generation capacity of 122,104 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of solar power plants (modeled at 18% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 11,038 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Spain consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 2,759 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Zújar contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Spain advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 38.9420° latitude and -5.8750° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the TERMOSOL-2 (solar, 99.8 MW), the TERMESOL 50 (solar, 50 MW), the CONSOLL ORELLANA (solar, 49.9 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Spain.
