The Olmedilla Photovoltaic Park is a 60-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power plant, located in Olmedilla de Alarcón, Spain. When completed in July 2008, it was the world's largest power plant using photovoltaic technology.[1][2]
The plant employs more than 270,000 conventional solar panels, using solar cells made of conventional crystalline silicon. Olmedilla generates about 87,500 megawatt-hours per year, equivalent to the annual power use of 40,000 homes. Construction of the plant cost €384 million (US$530 million).[1][3][4]
In 2026, a grid battery with power output of nearly 30 MW and storage capacity of 60 MWh started operating at Olmedilla.[5]
