ENERGO-PRO expanded its operations to Galicia (Spain) in 2023 when the group completed the acquisition of 100% of the share capital in Xallas Electricidad y Aleaciones S.A.U.(„Xeal“) and Feroe Ventures & Investments S.L.U.(„Feroe“).

Xeal operates ten hydropower plants with a total capacity of 167 MW and two ferroalloy plants. Feroe has applied for the grant of a concession for a new pumped-storage plant with a planned capacity of 400 MW.

Galicia, in the north-western part of Spain, is the rainiest region of the country. With an annual rainfall of more than 2,100 litres per square metre, it offers favourable conditions for operating hydropower plants. Thanks to the four dams and the cascade system, it is possible to to perfectly exploit the potential of the Xallas River, to optimize revenue and power generation according to the needs of the transmission system, and to offer support services, the need for which grows with a larger share of variable renewables in the grid.

According to the relevant concession agreement, all the power plants on the Xallas River will remain in operation until at least 2060.
